Function of a navigation template

I've just removed a lot of redlinked works. For the sake of clarity, the function of a navbar is navigation. That means that it enables readers to navigate from one existing article to another existing, bluelinked article.

Navigation templates do not have the function of cataloguing an artist's complete works - usually impossible, and contrary both to the purpose of a navbar (and the space available), and to WP:NOTCAT which applies to the whole of Wikipedia: this is not a catalogue, and completeness is not the goal. I do hope that is clear to everyone. Chiswick Chap (talk) 10:42, 25 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
