Only one related article in addition to the main article, which already link to each other without need of the navbox. --StarcheerspeaksnewslostwarsTalk to me 23:29, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I can't understand what purpose this is supposed to serve. This is transcluded on over 300,000 talk pages. If it's supposed to be a more-or-less universal guideline, then just make it a part of the interface of the site (a kind of universal Editnotice) by editing the appropriate bit in the MediaWiki namespace. If it's supposed to be applied to articles which we think will somehow be more frequented by newcomers or which is more prone to back-and-forth bickering, then a more specific template would be appropriate and certainly not require hundreds of thousands of transclusions (e.g. {{Arab-Israeli Arbitration Enforcement}}). See a page like Talk:Scientology where this is just swallowed up in a sea of notices. The notification creep is only exacerbated by this template which just reminds us of things which are always true and don't need to be posted hundreds of thousands of times across the encyclopedia. ―Justin (koavf)TCM 23:17, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This navbox has just three working links out of 4kb of text, and the connection between the articles ("merchant ships which carried military cargoes to Syria and Egypt in October and November 1973") is barely relevant. eh bien mon prince (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Currently has only one transclusion, and the transclusion is in the "User:" namespace. This template is not linked to Template:Batman, and any functionality this subpage had seems to have been hardcoded into its parent page/template. So, delete as unnecessary.
