Template talk:Private transport

Other alternatives section
I think I'm going to try to move the "Other alternatives" section to the bottom of this navbox -- generally, a template like template:Cheese does not include peanut butter or celery or other things that are not cheese, but it makes sense to include contrasts that provide context. WP:NAVBOX criteria include "The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent", and I would expect Public transport to refer to private transport. But placing other alternatives immediately after listing various kinds of private transport makes it seem like a mistake. It should be visually separated to show that it is not a kind of private transport. This is made more difficult by the excessive number of listings that follow. This template seems to have been organzied so that as it goes down, the circules widen to include broader and broader topics. You'd expect to see  listing * Life * The Universe * Everything. Rather than attatch all the tangentally related topics such as Car dependency, Automotive navigation system, Exhaust gas, Geographic mobility, etc. etc etc, a template like this should be much shorter and more tighlty focussd. These related topics should be inlcuded by adding other templates. For example: The Featured article Metabolism does this to an extreme, grouping some 25 navboxes inside a navbox. Most FAs don't go quite this far, such as Genetics, or Rotavirus, that typiclaly stack 2 or 3 navboxes, sometimes 3 o4 4. I think most of these broad topics in the lower half of this navobox should be removed, and placed on other navoboxes that might also be found at the bottom of Car or Walking. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 17:12, 28 June 2018 (UTC)
