Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2024 September 17 - Wikipedia
Propose splitting This may be a controversial decision, but I think this template should be split into multiple templates because according to WP:NAV-WITHIN, navigation templates should be kept small in size as a large template like this one has limited navigation value and is currently hard to read. The only problem is that some of those templates would be too small if split, and that certain versions of this template would be even more confusing and lack coherence with respect to phylogeny: a bit of Oceanic here and there, western branches (which should stay together even if they don't form a phylogenetic clade) also scattered over various places, if it were to be neither too large nor have too many very small templates, like in a revision I made to this template yesterday.

- Comment I agree that the template is unnavigatable and extremely tedious to edit. We have more handy templates for various subgroups of the Austronesian languages family. I'll notify WT:LANG about this discusion, maybe project members have an idea what to do with the big one. –Austronesier (talk) 19:54, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Add: we have to keep in mind that it is heavily used. Simply deleting it without proper replacment will be problematic for the many languages that are not included in one of the subgroup templates. –Austronesier (talk) 20:00, 25 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Then let's split it up and replace it with the sub navboxes in this one. --WikiCleanerMan (talk) 00:09, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete There are too many Austronesian languages belonging to small branches or being "isolates" of Malayo-Polynesian (e.g. Javanese, Sundanese, Lampung, Chamorro, Palauan). DDG9912 01:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
