I honestly think that this template should be deleted, as only three levels on it have been created, and this is only found on two of them. This is just unnecessary at the moment, but if the levels get created, we can bring it back. | I honestly think that this template should be deleted, as only three levels on it have been created, and this is only found on two of them.

#{{User|Freakworld}} The levels are included in the world's articles of Super Mario Bros. 3 and these worlds are included in the SMB 3 template. That basically nullifies this template and even the level articles that have been created IMO ([[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-1]] and [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 1-2]]). | |||

#{{User|YoshiKong}} – We should only delete something if it is unnecessary and serves so purpose. That's not the case here at all: the template is there to provide navigation between the level articles, and it's perfectly allowed, even if most of the articles haven't been created. And what would be the point of deleting it if we had to code it all again <!--or alternatively restore it, but that defeats my argument-->when the articles are created? And how many articles must be created before the template is considered "necessary"? Think of it as a checklist, where a blue link is complete, and a red link still needs to be taken care of. Having the red links sitting there would at least let users know that those articles are needed. Not having them there at all would leave users in the dark that such articles need to be written. If we had a red link on a page, would we say to remove it until the page is created? Taking the approach that you are proposing is likely to make this seem like the best way to do things throughout the whole wiki, which it isn't. And Freakworld, you're saying that the level articles are redundant anyway, as they are already included in the world articles? This would go against [[MarioWiki:New | #{{User|YoshiKong}} – We should only delete something if it is unnecessary and serves so purpose.
