Has been superceeded by categories. No other class of objects has a similar series box. - SimonP 14:27, Aug 20, 2004 (UTC)

• Keep. Navigational templates, lists and categories each have their own merits. Ideally each subject matter has all three.--Patrick 21:32, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)
• Keep. Patrick is right; categories cannot be formatted into something super-easy-to-use like templates can. • Benc • 08:56, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Our own guidelines state that "You should only use an article series box for an actual series — when it forms a complete linear series." 1 - SimonP 18:22, Aug 21, 2004 (UTC)

Then, IMHO, those guidelines are out-of-date need to be updated. Check out Wikipedia:Navigational templates, which lists hundreds of existing templates that serve the exact same purpose as Template:Headgear: ease of navigation. If anything, Template:Headgear simply needs the word "series" removed: as you correctly pointed out, it's an unordered set, not an ordered list. • Benc • 05:00, 22 Aug 2004 (UTC)

There is an important distinction between navigational boxes and series boxes. Nav boxes go at the bottom of an article. Series boxes go, far more visibly, in the upper right-hand corner.- SimonP 23:07, Aug 25, 2004 (UTC)
