Template talk:WiFi

Split Into and
At a quick glance, this might appear nit-picky, and I understand if it fails, but I hope you consider the points I am about to put forth and potentially persuade you with. Simply put: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and Nintendo Network are two similar, but different forms of online service. Heck, they even, understandably, are expressed in two different articles. Templates are in effect in order to help users navigate, and there is really no point to have the two together. The games each respective service provided for are from two different generations of gaming, and, thus, there should be two different templates that reflect that. Each game that each service provides for has a template for their respective consoles. There is no or. Each console is given its own template to help users of this online encyclopedia navigate through different aspects of a game, and the online network that these games were run on is a part of that. I know this might be too specific of an idea, but it all really makes sense if you truly understand my points I put across.

Support

 * 1) Per my points above, and to briefly summarize them: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and Nintendo Network are different services that provided for a different generation of consoles. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and the games that it enabled are history, and should be treated as such with its own template that only contains the games during this generation of gaming.
 * 2) I think it makes sense to split the two. Also, as a suggestion they could be called "" (Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection) and "" (Nintendo Network) or something along those lines.
 * 3) Per all. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and Nintendo Network are two different services, it's normal for the information to be split.
 * 4) Per all. I also think these templates should instead be moved to  and, respectively.

Oppose

 * 1) I'd rather scrap the template(s) entirely and replace them with categories. Per BL.

I have another question. Is this nav template even necessary? I feel like it's lumping completely unrelated games together simply because they have online connectivity. I think categories are a better way to handle this than having a navtemplate dealing with this. It's pretty like creating a navtemplate to include "games that support multiplayer". 20:58, 22 December 2017 (EST)
 * It does have a category. Just one category. Category:Games with Wi-Fi Connection. And it should be part of the discussion/proposal too. 21:27, 22 December 2017 (EST)
