The result of the discussion was delete. , but feel free to recreate it with a more limited scope if you feel as though there should be a high-level topic navbox. See Outline of technology for an outline of the subject, or just ask if you would like to have a copy of the contents Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 17:36, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This template is a gigantic (and continually growing) index of barely related articles. It doesn't conform with the navigation template guidelines, which specify that "All articles within a template relate to a single, coherent subject" and "The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent." I could see justification for more specific templates like "Military technology" or "Biomedical technology", but just "technology" is much too broad for a useful navbox.

  • I think the template would be okay if there weren't a half dozen sub-navboxes stuffed in, which could reasonably be devolved to their own navboxes (and placed on the appropriate articles [which might have overlap with other existing navboxes]). --Izno (talk) 20:10, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Used on only a handful of articles. I'm not entirely sure if there is a suitable merge target for articles using this template, but I would guess that there is. Izno (talk) 13:32, 4 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
