 * Why is it not redundant to selfref, which doesn't inappropriately use the sisterlink format? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 11:57, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure it is inappropriate to use it that way, since it is functionally "sister"ing non-content space in content space material. 70.24.251.208 (talk) 12:50, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
 * "Sister project" has a quite specific meaning in this context. The namespace is not a sister project. We already have selfref for those (few) occasions where references to projectspace may be (sparingly) inserted into articles in an unobtrusive manner. We do not need another one, and the choice is not helpful. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 13:54, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

Navigational boxes are supposed to navigate, not list. This has three different high schools with actual links, but the rest of the (inherently non-notable) middle and elementary schools are just unlinked text. This is navbox overkill. Jrcla2 (talk) 18:56, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
