To detail or not to detail

I personally like having the slash command parameters in the Navbox so that I can see them at a glance. But the parameters add noise that gets distracting and is hard to find a command at a glance. Which format should we use for the slash command navbox templates? --Konoko 23:39, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

I'd have to say I like the more detailed one, myself. The links make it relatively easy to pick out each command. Just my two cents. --Eabrace 00:44, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Detailed +1 -- Agge (talk) 04:41, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
I'd vote against the detailed version. Navboxes are supposed to be for navigation, not information. The more information that you put in, the less easy it is to use for navigation due to increased clutter. Also, the more bloat it puts on the page.

2 for, 1 against. I'm still on the fence. I like mini-references where ever I can put them. But I also like clean looks. Each Slash Command navbox's title should point to a page with the commands in detail anyways. Like Pet Commands does now (need to add a few, actually).
I also added a no detail, no slash example. --Konoko 16:28, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
