The best way to help readers navigate the encyclopedia is to have one giant navbox that contains as many links as possible at the bottom of the page. After reading a long article, the first thing a reader needs is a wall of links only vaguely related to each other by some large concept. This allows them to find exactly the page they are looking for after several hours of searching through the list. This is prefereable to them using the search bar. Compiling as many links as possible is also helpful to Wikipedia speedrunners as they try to get from article to article. The more links they have, the more likely they are to get a low time. Ideally we could help cut down their times by linking all six million articles in the same navbox, but this would be inconvenient as the article text would take up too much space and require a lot of needless scrolling before reaching the navbox. Resist the temptation to create systems of navboxes that grow more specific as the topic does. It is far preferable to be as general and large as possible so that readers do not miss the navbox.
