Editing Template talk:Goals

==Needed?==
Of all the templates that could be considered unnecessary, this one certainly seems up there. It's not like we have a template for all the transformative items or some other arbitrary division. [[:Category:Goals|Category:Goals]] already does exactly what the template does, especially since there's no separation in the template like other nav templates, so I fail to see the benefit of keeping this one around. {{User:Time Turner/sig}}
:Well, first "already" is a complete misnomer - [[:Category:Goals|Category:Goals]] did not pre-exist this template. Indeed, the category is populated exclusively '''by''' this template.
:Secondly, there's the disambig issue, particularly with the ones solely called "Goal" (inc. Super Princess Peach, which is on the template but doesn't have an article - and so isn't in the category & won't be until there ''is'' an article. I don't have the game, so I can't add one - and ''Super Mario Land 2'', which I've never quite got round to adding). [[Goal]] needs a complete overhaul - not just to add the links, but to turn it into an article about the concept - but, again, that's time for research & writing I've never personally found.
:Thirdly, there's the issue of inter-article linking. Many of the pages on this template were barely linked before it existed. [[Special:Lonelypages]] shows there are currently 198 entirely-orphaned pages, but there are god-knows-how-many pages with only one or two links to them. This gives all the pages on the template a decent number of links from pages with some degree of relevance.
:There's certainly room to create "separation in the template like other nav templates" - Super Mario series, DK(C) series, and so on, however... - [[User:Reboot|Reboot]] ([[User talk:Reboot|talk]]) 00:24, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

==Delete this template==
{{SettledTPP}}
{{ProposalOutcome|canceled}}
How is this necessary again? [[:Category:Goals]] literally serves the ''exact same purpose'', not everything desperately needs a navbox. This should be deleted for the same reason [[:Template:Doors]] is on its way out.

===Support===
#{{User|Niiue}} Per proposal.

===Oppose===
#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} I think this is needed. It puts them in a neat order of by series, not just alphabetical. Also, there is a red link on this template. If you want to delete this template, then the red link would be gone unless an article is created for it.
#{{User|Toadette the Achiever}} Per YtSSM. His reasoning is actually something that {{tem|Doors}} lacks.
#{{User|SuperYoshiBros}} Per all.
#{{User|TheFlameChomp}} Per all.

== Seeds ==

Shouldn’t the Wonder and Royal Seeds be on the template? They serve as goals in some courses. [[Special:Contributions/100.1.209.240|100.1.209.240]] 08:25, December 14, 2024 (EST)
