I have just released this new Template:Plumbing, and added it to the bottom of the Plumbing article. The navbox template's purpose is to provide an overview of all Wikipedia articles related to the subject, and to allow quick navigation among them. Another purpose is to make it easier to see all the plumbing-related articles, so that they can be reorganized, coordinated, and improved. Please look at the template and (politely) let me know what you think, before I roll it out more generally to all the articles listed in it.

As you review the articles, you may notice that some of them partially overlap or appear to be redundant. Part of the purpose of this template is to reveal these overlaps (and also gaps in coverage). Do not remove apparently-redundant articles from this template. Instead, tag the articles themselves for merge or deletion, as appropriate. Only after the changes are complete should you remove the now-obsolete articles from the template.

This is only a first draft version of the template, so please feel free to add to the template any plumbing-related articles I somehow missed. The subcategories in the template are also a first try, and ideas for improvement are welcome.

In the absence of a WP:WIKIPROJECT for plumbing, I suggest using this Template talk page as a place to discuss the overall cleanup and improvement efforts. Reify-tech (talk) 19:34, 14 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
