I find navboxes useful as an editor, and frequently use them to keep track of the related
articles I edit. I would prefer to keep the functionality, but would not have a problem
with it being opt-in.
Cheers,
Peter

Many of these templates have over
100 links in them; a surprisingly
large number have "subtemplates" built into them. I'm having a hard
time seeing how adding all those links at the bottom of an article is
actually going to help that much. Unless we have some evidence to
confirm this information is actually useful to readers -seriously,
this is a community-designed feature targeted at readers as opposed to
editors - it's probably time to rethink what indirectly related
information on our article pages is made routinely available. We want
people to use our information, not give up because it takes too long
to load.

Right, and if the feature is not useful for readers (and I do not see how it is useful for
editors, except for making the pages looking nicer) it possibly should not be there at
all. But I do not think that just ignoring it in the mobile version without any relation
to the "desktop"
version is a good direction to follow.
Cheers
Yaroslav
