To editor Uanfala: your edit summary... "as explained to you several times already, this is *not* helpful here". Your explanation has not been helpful, because a template like this one with many entries where this template is and can be transcluded needs a separate documentation page. That is the long-term consensus, and for you to deny this navbar a /documentation page goes against that consensus. Why do you continue to pay no attention to what the community wants? An admin reversed this /doc page's deletion so it could be used as a /doc page, not so that it can be redirected to the template.
I've tried to work with you on this, for example here and here; however, for more intricate templates like this one, a separate /doc page is a necessity, so please reverse your edit and adhere to the wishes of our community. P.I. Ellsworth ed. put'r there 20:08, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

My two cents: I consider separate documentation necessary and extremely helpful for templates which create a uniform display of variable content, such as infoboxes. In such cases, the user (typically editors not much involved in "technical" template editing → dummies like me) needs a full overview of the function and features of every parameter.
This template, however, serves to uniformly reproduce non-variable content for navigation purposes. The only parameter of interest for a user is "state", with pretty trivial settings which are fully explained by the template (!) "Collapsible option".
As for the necessity for a separate subpage, I don't feel strongly about it in either direction. (I am emotionally more affected (as a page watcher) by witnessing that other editors do (viz. feel strongly about it).) – Austronesier ( talk) 08:50, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
This template is titled in the wikitext "Modern Indo-Aryan Languages" despite including Old and Middle Indo-Aryan. As the template itself is not named like this and in practice it is being used for Indo-Aryan Languages in general, I am going to change the title of the box to reflect that. عُثمان ( talk) 22:23, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
