Regarding NavBoxes...

I've never been a fan of their inclusion on pages. To me it just seems like additional clutter on the pages.

I'm surprised how there is often talk of useless redundancy on this wiki yet some of those very same people are in favor of the NavBoxes. I mean they seem to do the very same thing as the Category pages. Why are both necessary?

Additionally, when I search for something specific within the wiki such as say 'Daud' to find all the pages he is mentioned on, I get this super-huge list of pages with 'about 300 results' of the mention of his name.

Now granted, he is one of the most popular characters here, and is physically mentioned somewhere on about 200 of those pages. However the rest are merely due to the inclusion of him being on a NavBox listing.

Conversely, if I were searching for something not as popular, say a type of weapon, mines in particular... I still get a report of "About 100 results for 'mines' on the Dishonored wiki"

Some of those are incorrect with things like This is Mine making the list, as well as mentions of the Pendleton 'mines'. I can understand things like that. However, about 75% to 80% of those 100 results are merely the inclusion of the word 'mine' on a NavBox. That makes researching a topic rather annoying when one has to sift through so many results to simply find the information one is looking for.

Even more frustrating is when an incorrect result, say in this case the This is Mine achievement from earlier, is then ALSO repeated due to its inclusion on achievement NavBoxes. It's basically double the annoyance factor.

Is there some way I can modify, tailor, customize, or personalize my own wiki experience so that I'm not inundated with all of this rather redundant and useless information?

I'm not looking to change the wiki itself, just what shows for me.

I've asked something similar to this before, but am now hoping that with some of Wikia's updates that this is possible. Thanks in advance for anyone who can provide me with answers. :)
