Template talk:Goals

Needed?
Of all the templates that could be considered unnecessary, this one certainly seems up there. It's not like we have a template for all the transformative items or some other arbitrary division. Category:Goals already does exactly what the template does, especially since there's no separation in the template like other nav templates, so I fail to see the benefit of keeping this one around.
 * Well, first "already" is a complete misnomer - Category:Goals did not pre-exist this template. Indeed, the category is populated exclusively by this template.
 * Secondly, there's the disambig issue, particularly with the ones solely called "Goal" (inc. Super Princess Peach, which is on the template but doesn't have an article - and so isn't in the category & won't be until there is an article. I don't have the game, so I can't add one - and Super Mario Land 2, which I've never quite got round to adding). Goal needs a complete overhaul - not just to add the links, but to turn it into an article about the concept - but, again, that's time for research & writing I've never personally found.
 * Thirdly, there's the issue of inter-article linking. Many of the pages on this template were barely linked before it existed. Special:Lonelypages shows there are currently 198 entirely-orphaned pages, but there are god-knows-how-many pages with only one or two links to them. This gives all the pages on the template a decent number of links from pages with some degree of relevance.
 * There's certainly room to create "separation in the template like other nav templates" - Super Mario series, DK(C) series, and so on, however... - Reboot (talk) 00:24, 19 May 2016 (EDT)

Delete this template
How is this necessary again? Category:Goals literally serves the exact same purpose, not everything desperately needs a navbox. This should be deleted for the same reason Template:Doors is on its way out.

Support

 * 1) Per proposal.

Oppose

 * 1) I think this is needed. It puts them in a neat order of by series, not just alphabetical. Also, there is a red link on this template. If you want to delete this template, then the red link would be gone unless an article is created for it.
 * 2) Per YtSSM. His reasoning is actually something that  lacks.
