I have created a new template {{tl|Contributor Help}} that includes links to the main pages featured on the redesigned [[Help:Contributor Help]] page and added it to these pages. In doing so I undid the changes back to the 22 December version of this template and then made some further edits; renaming the header for the template (to avoid confusion in having two templates using the same heading). I also remove the 11 group that was not displaying (there is a limit of 10 groups) the contents of which anyhow are now included in the {{tl|User Help}} template. --[[User:Cottrells|Steve]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:Cottrells|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Cottrells|contribs]]}} 09:00, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

:Our concern with this template is that it's too long, there's just too much there. What didn't you like about the change to the template made the other day? We know that it takes away links to the individual pages, and that that's not the "official" purpose of these navigation boxes. However, we'd rather have a navigation system that spans the help articles rather than just points out 1-2 of each type. A huge list like what this has turned into just makes my eyes water, and it really isn't helpful for contributors. -- [[User:VasquezJL|janellv]] {{toolbar|[[User talk:VasquezJL|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/VasquezJL|contribs]]}} 21:33, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
