==Replacement of previous navigation templates==

While the creation of this template is a great idea I don't think it should replace the previous navigation templates we had on the R1 world and level articles. Those made navigation between levels and worlds a lot easier, while this one has to be 'collapsed' and then the levels have to be found in the middle of all this information. In addition, the world articles now lack the list of their levels which is very problematic in terms of content. —[[File:RRRGBAIcon8.png|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon0.gif|link=User:Hunchman801]][[File:RRRGBAIcon1.png|link=User:Hunchman801]] 14:23, 15 April 2014 (CEST)

:I really don't think the R1 world and level templates are needed. The main R1 template doesn't NEED to be collapsed – navboxes should only be collapsed when there are several of them in the same article, and even then there's a case to be made for leaving them open. R1 levels would never fall under any template other than this one, so I'd be perfectly happy to leave it open on all of them.

:As for having to search through the template to find a specific level or world, that's definitely a valid concern, but the benefits of a single, cohesive, coherent, all-encompassing navbox far outweigh this negative, and having six other navboxes which are direct subsets of this one and replicate sections of it without adding anything strikes me as an unwise precedent to set. I'd recommend trying to find other solutions to aid navigation: the R1 menu colour scheme was a superficially nice idea, but if we changed the colours to be more like [[Template:Rayman series]], the links would stand out much more, and if we found a nice way to make the text <nowiki><small></nowiki> it would also make the navbox more compact and easier to glance over and navigate. —[[User:Spiraldoor|Spiraldoor]] [[File:IconSpiralDoor.png|link=User:Spiraldoor]] 17:46, 15 April 2014 (CEST)
