GA and FA rule #8 has bothered me for a long time. I understand that redlinks in the intro and infobox are bad, but why should there be no redlinks in any templates? I propose we change the rule so that redlinks in navigation templates are included in the 3 or 5 redlink count. My main reasoning behind this is that if one is trying to nominate an article, they are forced to create articles on anything in the templates. This makes nominating articles much more difficult.

Here's what I propose we change the rule to for GANs.

…have no more than 3 redlinks for articles less than 500 words, no more than 5 redlinks for articles 500 words or more, and no redlinks in the introduction, infobox, or any templates excluding navigation templates. Redlinks in navigation templates count toward the 3 or 5 redlink count depending on the size of the article.

Here's what I propose we change the rule to for FANs.

…have no more than 3 redlinks and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates excluding navigation templates. Redlinks in navigation templates count toward the 3 redlink count.

CANs would have no redlinks anywhere as Rule #7 currently demands.
