Navigation templates are meant to lead to articles, not through redirects to articles. When redirected, the navigation template won't embolden the page it landed on because it links to the redirect, not the actual landing page. I think it's pretty clear that the redirects shouldn't be here. -- <a href="/wiki/User:Mikeblas" title="User:Mikeblas">Mikeblas</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Mikeblas" title="User talk:Mikeblas">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Computer_files#c-Mikeblas-20230121013100-Redirects_in_nav_boxes" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">01:31, 21 January 2023 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Mikeblas-20230121013100-Redirects_in_nav_boxes"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Mikeblas-20230121013100-Redirects_in_nav_boxes"></span> </p> <hr/> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-MrE-112358-20230122181400-Redirects_in_nav_boxes"></span>Regarding <span class="plainlinks"><a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=File_compression&redirect=no">File compression</a></span> vs. <a href="/wiki/Data_compression" title="Data compression">Data compression</a>, these terms do not actually mean quite the same thing.
