[edit] Point of template

Since the link has long been to List of Presidents of the United States, rather than the article on the office, I've naturally considered this to be an navigation template to the lists. The examples of NE, CO, and MS was offered. However, CO's article is in fact the list article, and MS's link redirects to the list. So, really, we're down to two men out, it seems: CA and NE. I don't see why these two exceptions are suddenly the rule. BRD demands I discuss this before reverting. --Golbez (talk) 19:14, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

NJ, NH, NC, NY too. And probably others (trolling thru all 50 to check would be a PITA). IMO, many of the List articles have only been made into lists so they can become WP:Featured lists, not because organizing/separating them into lists is organizationally superior. --Cybercobra (talk) 19:35, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Argh. Got confused with {{USExecutives}}. These really need merging. --Cybercobra (talk) 19:42, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
And now TfD'd. But yeah, an editorial decision on Office vs. List articles needs to be made. --Cybercobra (talk) 19:45, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
