Navbox consensus

There are plausible reasons for modifying the navbox templates at the bottom of the page at G-20 major economies. An opportunity for discussion needs to be part of any process which precedes change. Three arguable improvements are:

A. Combining two of the current navboxes at the bottom of the page?

• template name to remain the same {{G20}}—Template:G20?
• new template would be similar to {{APEC}}—Template:Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation
• this would mean removing {{G-20 leaders' summits}}—Template:G-20 leaders' summits?

B. Deleting the current leaders navbox?

This is a poor subject for a navbox because leaders change irregularly over time. The functional utility of this navbox is not greater or better than one which only shows member nations.

• this would mean removing {{Current G20 Leaders}}—Template:Current G20 Leaders?

C.Standardize/harmonize to "G20" without hyphen?

Only G-15 must have a hyphen, consistent with the group's official web site?

D. Perhaps decision-making may be helped by comparing an array of similar groups and templates?

• 21 in group> Template:APEC?
• Template:Current APEC Leaders?

• 18 in group> Template:G-15 nations?
• Template:Group of 15 Leaders?

• 8 in group> Template:D8 nations?

• 4 in group>Template:BRIC countries?
• Template:Current BRIC Leaders?
• Template:BRIC summits?

• 3 in group>Template:Trilateral meeting?
• 2 in group> Template:G-3?

• No navboxes yet> G77•G33•G24•G10•G5

• 20 in group> Template:G20?
• Template:Current G20 Leaders?
• Template:G-20 leaders' summits?

• 9 in group> Template:G8 nations?
• Template:Current G8 Leaders?
• Template:G8-Foreign?
• Template:G8-Finance?
• Template:G8-Defense?
• Template:G8-Justice?
• Template:G8-Interior?
• Template:G8 summits?
