@Enwebb: Hi again. Good to know these are getting another pair of eyes, not too hard on them I hope :-) I note you restored the navbar, which I removed for what I think are good reasons, but if your preference is for them to remain I will stop doing that. cygnis insignis 17:23, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Cygnis insignis Ah, I didn't even notice that you removed it--I thought it was just missing. I believe nearly all the bat articles have one, and I've gone through most of the navbar templates lately to update taxonomy. Why do you remove them, just curious? I don't feel strongly about them either way, but I do like consistency. Enwebb (talk) 18:27, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Cygnis insignis: circling back to this. What's your rationale for removing the navbar, again? Like I said, I believe it's in the neighborhood of 90%+ bat species articles have a navbar. Enwebb (talk) 02:14, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Enwebb, I don't think content should be transcluded without a good reason, and I only see reasons not to create them. I noticed that you have been maintaining at least one, thankfully, so at least it is not outright contradicting something in the articles is on the watchlist of someone who cares about the topic. Someone looked at a series of stubs and saw the opportunity to transclude the contents of one of the categories, or a list, into every member of that category, or list, or taxobox in the case of taxa as a unverifiable link dump. The answer to an enquiry 'what links here' includes everything in the hidden nav box, not a meaningful link in the article text. Lacking citations, redundant, less than thoughtful, not harmless, yet vigorously defended by their creators so I try to ignore them. cygnis insignis 08:05, 19 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
