Deletion rationale
It seems overkill to have a navbox for help pages, especially since we can already find a list of help pages at Category:Memory Alpha help, Special:AllPages/MA Help:, Special:PrefixIndex/MA Help:, and MA Help:Contents. In a more practical sense, this navbox makes it virtually impossible to make use of Special:WhatLinksHere to find what other help pages link to a given help page. 🖖 Mr. Starfleet Command (talk • contribs) 16:46, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
Discussion
Isn't there a way we can alter "what links here" to only show non-templated links (aside from template pages themselves)? I've noticed that same issue with pages listed in "Template:Personal care". One good thing the template does is sort help pages under topic headers. -LauraCC (talk) 16:51, 8 February 2026 (UTC)
- Nope, there's no such filter in what links here. And MA Help:Contents also sorts them under topic headers, so we'd still have that even without the navbox. 🖖 Mr. Starfleet Command (talk • contribs) 01:34, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
- Is there a way we can work it from the other end by adding some coding to the template so it doesn't do that? LauraCC (talk) 01:36, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
- I suppose we could change the links to use external style, but that's certainly not a desirable outcome. Besides, this isn't the only reason I'm putting this template up for deletion – take another look at the deletion rationale. 🖖 Mr. Starfleet Command (talk • contribs) 02:21, 9 February 2026 (UTC)

- It's morphed far away from its original incarnation when it was actual tabs using tabber. It *did* have functionality at one time. I hate what it's turned into, tbh. -- Renegade54 (talk) 04:41, 9 February 2026 (UTC)
