To the people who have seen the new film please understand that the guidelines for a navbox are different from those for an article for the film or list articles. Navboxes are designed to let readers navigate between existing WikiP articles. With the exception of navboxes for authors and their book or directors and their films (etc) a navbox should not contain redlinks. If an article for these new creatures is ever created then we can add the link but until then the redlink serves no useful purpose. MarnetteD | Talk 19:48, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
This nav box is far too large and is way in over its head going over Godzilla related material. Why for example is Gamera linked as its definitly of the genre, but not the same series. Ditto with several other Toho films that are not in the Godzilla series (i.e: GunHed, Orochi the EIght Headed Giant, etc.). If there is no real suggestion that they are part of the same series, I suggest removing them. Andrzejbanas ( talk) 13:10, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
couldn't we have an article that lists all Kaiju that appear in the Legendary films? like a "List of Monsterverse kaiju"? I mean the second Godzilla film introduces a number of new kaiju in it. Not too mention the MUTOs from the first one. Visokor ( talk) 14:28, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
@ Armegon: Hello but I just don't see the logik in reverting my edits. All these edits were necessary and you can't revert them just because then a template becomes bloated. For example, Ready Player One is a related movie, because it features Mechagodzilla. Shinkalion The Movie features Snow Godzilla, and Matango is related, because Matango later appeared in Godzilla Island. Short films, featuring Godzilla himself, also are necessary. A section "Films featuring a similar creature" is necessary, because many of these films feature creatures that cannot be called Godzilla only because of copyright issues. Remember, this is one of the oldest movie franchises and it is very big. -- Дейноніх ( talk) 08:22, 12 January 2021 (UTC)
I don’t see the logic either in your edits. A majority of them, like “films featuring a similar creature” or “short films”, or the “American adaptations”, violate WP:FAN. The template is supposed to be a navigation guide but you’re treating it more like a See Also page or a compilation article. 99% of the short films listed don’t even have articles, so what use are they to a navigation template? There are no separate articles for Gigantis or the US version of King Kong vs. Godzilla, so what’s the point in listing those. Info on those alternate cuts can be found in the articles for Raids Again & Kong vs. Godzilla. We should also reexamine what constitutes as “related” to justify adding content to the template. We can’t list every single film, show, or other media medium just because they include a special appearance by Godzilla. The template is becoming bloated enough as it is.

Where was such a thing ever stated in an official capacity? The Japanese equivalent to this template just has Shin Godzilla in its own "no classification" subsection with the anime films in their own "animated movies" subsection. ArguaBILL ( talk) 17:32, 8 January 2023 (UTC)
