I and others have removed an extensive list of redlinks to non-existant articles from this navbox template. Other editors keep restoring them. Guidance for this is at WP:EXISTING which states "Red links should normally be avoided unless they are very likely to be developed into articles" and "Even then, editors are encouraged to write the article first". Basically don't add a link until an article exists to link to. The purpose of a navbox is to provide links to related articles, links to articles that don't exist are not helpful to that purpose and just add unnecessary bloat of useless links to the navbox.
