How I should add Suspended members and Former members?--Kaiyr (talk) 12:51, 1 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would say don't. The template is already quite large, and the larger a template gets the more it distracts/detracts from the article and therefore the less useful it is. If somebody were to create a "Former members" template that might be useful: it would add to the relevant articles without uglifying the articles on which it is not relevant.

Scolaire is right in principle, although there are always exceptions. If you'd like to see some monster navboxes, and how they were split up, take a look at Template:Murinae and Template:The Beatles and their talk pages and edit histories. Even pages as large as these may still be transcluded, but only on one or two pages at most – (they are really serving as a another form of list page, not as real navboxes, so they can be linked to - but not transcluded - as often as you like.) --NSH002 (talk) 22:25, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@LouisAragon: Let me suggest a compromise here: let's link to Southern Azerbaijan from this template, but let's not transclude this template at that article.

Going through this list recently, I'm fully aware that using this template on some pages is widely undue. But the reverse is not true: linking to certain pages from this template is entirely accurate and fine. In other words, on the level of the article Southern Azerbaijan what you said, "a tiny separatist group doesn't represent all people of a region", is true. But on the level of UNPO that is exactly what the case is: a tiny group does represent the entire people of the region. Currently, by the way, that group is South Azerbaijan Democratic Party and no longer Southern Azerbaijan National Awakening Movement. But long story short, let's keep the link here but remove the navbox from the article, shall we? – Finnusertop (talk ⋅ contribs) 12:13, 24 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
