So it would appear what we have at current is technically known as a [[wikipedia:Template:sidebar|sidebar on the Big Wiki]], where it is generally only used for topic overviews (like the main [[:template:incursions links]]. The horizontal table ('navbox') is more used for specific topics of less significance, but still related (eg, human anatomy, or related titles in a film franchise) with the advantage it works better with other templates, amongst other benefits. I definitely think a horizontal table/navbox like [[:Template:Navbox]] would work better for the sites box - it is more compact, and it can be placed at the bottom of any page, allowing it to fit the bill of a 'summary' template that I have mentioned. <s>I have currently set up a test at [[User:Telinchei/Test Two Incursions]].</s> | So it would appear what we have at current is technically known as a [[wikipedia:Template:sidebar|sidebar on the Big Wiki]], where it is generally only used for topic overviews (like the main [[:template:incursions links]].

I saw that you have already set a horizontal table/navbox up in 2013 on the template page itself and it looks perfect. I also see you also considered between the two and I'm curious - why did you end up picking the sidebar style over the horizontal? If you think it would be appropriate, that horizontal navbox could be copied out to [[Template:Incursion Sites 2]] or the like (horizontal, navbox would also be appropriate titles) and be applied to the mainspace [[Incursion sites]] page as a trial?
