Template:White nationalism (talk · history · transclusions · logs · subpages)

Useless for navigation purposes, no clear boundary to prevent obscene growth, little to no evident pattern for users to hop from one topic to the next. See reasons given in prior discussions for similar templates here and here. Zeke, the Mad Horrorist ^{(Speak quickly)} _{(Follow my trail)} 07:07, 12 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely clear on what the objections to the template are, but if it's kept, I'd recommend removing the "Individuals" section. That's the section that's already out of hand and could grow almost infinitely. I guess I'm also wondering why it's useful to have a "white nationalism" template, since the article on the topic seems pretty vague. A template for "white supremacy" and/or "white separatism" might be easier to define and manage within the desired boundaries. Cynwolfe (talk) 01:26, 19 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
