Removing navbox from articles

Mangokeylime I wanted to let you know I want to remove this navbox from all articles. The rationale behind this edit is the number of events that comprise the civil rights movement would render this navbox unusable. To get an idea for the potential mess, please see Civil Rights Movement on my personal sandbox page. It is a continuously updated list of national to local events that make up the CRM. I created the state level navboxes to handle the load of new articles. Mitchumch (talk) 15:35, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Mitchumch do you think the box in general should be divided into state by state boxes?Mangokeylime (talk) 21:47, 31 July 2020 (UTC)

Mangokeylime Do you mean have states listed within this navbox OR have completely separate boxes like this? Mitchumch (talk) 05:21, 1 August 2020 (UTC)

Mitchumch Either or... just wanted your thoughts on it.Mangokeylime (talk) 01:03, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Mangokeylime A state-by-state navbox can better handle the load of events. For the time being it can go on the main article page only. Is that okay? Mitchumch (talk) 22:18, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Mitchumch That sounds good, we could have the separate state boxes all together in the main box too.Mangokeylime (talk) 17:29, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

Mangokeylime Sorry I disappeared. Not sure if there would be a need for the main navbox and all the state navboxes to be on same page. It would be duplication of content.

To clarify, my previous statement to have states listed within the main navbox was for wikilinks, not state navboxes. At the moment, Civil rights movement in South Carolina is the only article like this. Mitchumch (talk) 15:10, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Sidenote, I think there should be more articles like Civil rights movement in South Carolina because while yes some incidents have a lot of info and deserve their own page (like March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, a lot of the movement in wasn't as singularly dramatic and was much more broad, it deserves to be covered in their entirety and there are sources out there to do it.Mangokeylime (talk) 17:46, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

Mangokeylime I agree entirely. I'm adding redlinks to state level navboxes to give those lesser known events more exposure. See Template:CRM in South Carolina. I think editors are more apt to write about a smaller event, than take on an entire state history. Mitchumch (talk) 06:27, 13 August 2020 (UTC)
