Keep per
WP:CHEAP. It’s not inaccurate, it’s not unclear, and it’s not in the "article" namespace. To me, that’s about as "cheap" as it gets.

But what is the point of misspelled navigation templates?
UnitedStatesian (

All I’m seeing here is a capitalization difference and a singular/plural difference. That’s not a misspelling ... which if one did exist, I’d opt for deletion instead.
Steel1943 (

Apologies: meant to ask, what is the point of having multiple forms of a navigation template, if the redirected form is not used in any article?
UnitedStatesian (
talk) 02:46, 31 December 2018 (UTC)reply
For navboxes, it cannot hurt and could potentially be helpful, but specifically capitalization and/or singular/plural differences. I mean technically, there are softwares listed in the navbox, so this particular title could be a helpful search term.

From what I gathered there was
A budget crisis in 2014 and the Goverment planned to hold a
Snap election in March of 2015 but it was later called off after a budget agreement was made. Due to this the 2018 election article was originally titled
Swedish general election, 2015 due to an assumption of a snap election which explains why this redirect was made. If kept it should be retargetd to
2014 Swedish government crisis for context but I still don’t see it as necessary.--
