Wikipedia:WikiProject Navbox
Wikipedia:Navbox
The purpose of this project is to identify all the articles lacking navboxes and to place one or more fitting navboxes in all Wikipedia article.
If there is an existing navbox where an article can be placed, it'll simply be added to the navbox and the navbox will be added to the page.
If there is no navbox where the article fits, other similar articles will be identified, and a new navbox would be created where all can fit together.
The advantage to having one or more navboxes on a page is that it provides instantaneous links and the article is not orphaned. Navboxes also have other benefits, such as enabling those reading an article to easily know about and find other articles they are interested in reading.
This study of a navbox has shown that in the month following its creation, readership of the articles contained within increased by 8.5% (an average of 406 views per article) and editing of these pages increased by 37%.

comment You know, good arguments have been made against having Navboxes on every page -- the proposal has met the usual fate of most proposals containing the word "every". But what about scaling back the ambitions -- e.g. an at-large WikiProject and/or task force to spread awareness of the stupendous powers of Navboxes, and to spread recognition that they should be used more frequently. Casting a cursory (non-critical) glance at WP:Navbox#Advantages, they sure are versatile little buggers. PS I found this page through the essay on the {{ Essays on building Wikipedia}} template -- at the very least, you have to admit that navboxes are amazing.
