Reason?[edit]
What's the reason for this nav? It doesn't serve any useful purpose, it is unnecessarily long (which is ok IF the nav has a purpose) and why would we add these things to a nav in the first place? Category would be better. I am for remaking this nav as a category for the nav's removal. ~Sime 16:06, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- Seconded. This nav seems superfluous to be added onto pages, at the very least - it could just be a page in itself, or a category, but as a nav it takes up massive amounts of space for no real benefit. Inni (talk) 16:10, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- I started this nav because I saw many pages with lists of objects with the same model under a See also section, so a nav with all the associated objects would replace all of that. I also thought about a category at first however that would create heaps of pages to sub-categorise all the objects. I initially only wanted a nav for the vehicles that shared the same model, but then I started finding it beneficial to be able to see one list of all dredge objects. If you want me to re-sort all of this into new category pages instead, I can do that... --Caeldom (talk) 16:17, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- DJemba and DiegoDeLaHouska agreed on discord with the notion to remake this into category. I'd say wait a bit if someone else wants to chime in and then yes please, let's make a pretty lore category, as I mentioned on discord this must've taken quite some time to collect and it's definitely useful to have it in one place--just a nav is not that place. ~Sime 16:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
- Right now it's been extremely hard for me to maintain consistency across a bunch of objects (or anything) of the same type without some way to navigate through them, I'm constantly scouring search results and using the images to trace pages they've been used. This has resulted in horrible inconsistencies in the descriptions and formatting across all the articles. If using categories will solve that like this nav does, I'm all for it, I just approached it in the same way we have navs for the same types of enemies. --Caeldom (talk) 16:25, 3 February 2025 (UTC)

- Following discussion on Discord, I'm going to go ahead and move the objects I've collected into a new section on the Dredge page, and create a Category:Dredge objects and put them all in there. --Caeldom (talk) 16:47, 3 February 2025 (UTC)
