Template:Imperial Army units (Sith Empire) (history - links - logs - delete - protect)
Simply put: this navigation box doesn't add anything and does exactly the same function as the respective category. And some of these tabs are rather speculative. It's too big and too pointless.

- "It's too big and pointless" sums up pretty good most of these military navigation templates that have begun to infest this wiki. They're ugly, bloated, and make our articles look worse than if they weren't there at all. As Winterz says, most of this stuff can be adequately covered under a category or category tree. I'm happy to ride this nav template deletion wave as far as it'll go. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:40, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

- Looks like we'll have to TC the other big military navboxes then. --Vitus InfinitusTalk 02:36, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- I noticed you were editing the Imperial Army navbox (canon) today and that one looks very similar to this one. Tabs on divisions, squads, etc. and then just adding whatever article seems part of the respective tab. It's one thing when you have a defined structure, like the "Garrisons" or the "Bureaus" part. Those are worth a navbox, albeit small ones. That massive navbox, working as a category, is just not practical. But that TC, I'll leave it for you eheh Winterz (talk) 02:49, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- While we're at it, starship class navboxes need to die in a fire. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 07:20, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

- While I'm a strong advocate of navboxes, this is the correct course of action to take.

- Great! Now let's delete all the rest of these pointless things! Tommy-Macaroni 12:11, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
