Template:History sith

This template, along with {{History jedi}}, seems to be redundant and unnecessary. Its basic design is quite arbitrary. After all, how are we supposed to decide which events are important enough to be included? We already have the entire History of the Sith article. Wouldn't it be better to just include a link to it? Furthermore, succession boxes already provide quite fluid site navigation between related articles, so I fail to see what practical purpose these templates serve besides cluttering up the articles in which they are placed.…–SentryTalk 07:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

  1. Wikipedia uses such templates a lot. I think they're rather handy. - Sikon (Vacation) 08:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

  • How about this alternative:
History of the Sith
The Ancient Sith - Hundred Year Darkness - Great Hyperspace War
Great Sith War - Mandalorian Wars - Jedi Civil War
First Sith Civil War - Second Sith Civil War - New Sith Wars
Republic Dark Age - Order of the Sith Lords - New Sith Order

It can go at the bottom of the page along with all of the other navigation templates.–SentryTalk 19:33, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
