I really don't see a need for this template. Everything it does is better done by categories, lists/more specific navigational templates. It seems to have been created simply as an equivalent to the "US state nav boxes." --cj | talk 11:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)※

I support keeping the template. But it should be, cleaned/enhanced to contain information covering the state. Remove the Adelaide metropolitan LGAs. Add more general state-wide topics. Perhaps the major highways. Add things like Rail transport in South Australia (there is no Transport in South Australia article), History of South Australia and any other state-wide topics. Finding things to add to this template might be a way to focus future effort on the SA (Adelaide) Wikiproject. --Scott Davis 22:22, 12 December 2006 (UTC)※

The only thing I'd like this template converted into is a topics box in the South Australia article (like {{Australia topics}} in Australia). I really don't like the idea of general South Australian topics nav box being added arbitrarily to random articles. I think specialised templates are more useful. Because of their focus. There probably is a need for a {{regions of South Australia}} template, which is one thing this template attempts to cover; in fact, we already have a {{wine regions of South Australia}}. I'd be hesitant to create a nav box for South Australian cities, "as there isn't a clear-cut definition." Every other feature of this template is redundant.--cj | talk 12:51, 14 December 2006 (UTC)※

Keep but judicious use. And shrink down. Useful for someone who knows nothing about australia.Fred.e 16:27, 20 December 2006 (UTC)※

I removed the Adelaide LGAs as there is an {{Local Government Areas of South Australia}} template for them. I added a start at a topics section, "but most of the relevent categories do not have an overview article to link from here."

• ✓ History ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:History of South Australia
• ✓ Government ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Government of South Australia
• ✓ Flag
• Culture ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Culture of South Australia
• Transport ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Transport in South Australia
  • ✓ Rail transport
  • Road transport / Highways
• Education ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Education in South Australia
• Geography ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Geography of South Australia
• Geology ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Geology of South Australia
• Sport ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Sport in South Australia

There may be other overview topics I haven't thought of.

I also wanted to put the little "hide" link in the title like {{{wine regions of South Australia}} has, but couldn't work out how. --Scott Davis 04:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)※
