Necessity

I'll extend my comments about Template:Cards for this template as well. In short: this template is unnecessary and unhelpful, its job already being covered by Category:Doors without any added benefit. I believe that it should be deleted. Any thoughts?

Is this template helping anyone? Is there any added convenience of navigation due to the existence of this navigation template? Besides everything that I've said before (read above), we already have Category:Doors, which presents the exact same information in the exact same manner. This isn't a question of whether or not doors are notable enough to warrant a template, this is simply a matter of the necessity of the template, and I'm arguing that it's certainly not necessary.
