Too few links for navboxes. DrKiernan (talk) 07:01, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all navigation boxes are to navigate between articles. These do not fulfil that function. SFB 17:00, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is nothing but an overly complicated way of using regular wikitext. It is used in only one place, which utilizes exactly none of the pointless options provided by this template, and thus can be easily replaced with plain wikitext there. While the sentence is useful as a placeholder, one can easily type the full sentence since it's not that long. Thus, this template is of no real use. jcgoble3 (talk) 05:13, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep according to the description this is a shorter version of {{lorem ipsum}} ; as this is a common line of text used for demonstration, it can be used for examples for other Wikipedia functionality. I suggest this be documented into {{lorem ipsum}}, and a repetition parameter be provided to repetitively output this sentence for a specified amount of filler text. -- 65.94.169.222 (talk) 06:50, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- If features are needed, they can be added to {{lorem ipsum}} as required. That shouldn't hold up deletion here. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 09:46, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
delete, simply typing it out would be just as easy, given the limited usage. Frietjes (talk) 14:40, 12 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
