I found http://www.nevadawilderness.org/legislat/nwpa1989.htm. Anyone know if this is a complete list of wilderness areas in Nevada?

• It is not complete. 10 more wilderness areas were created in the Black Rock Desert region in 2000. They're managed by BLM's Winnemucca office. I'm going to add the Calico Mountains Wilderness and High Rock Lake Wilderness links to the Protected Areas of Nevada template. But there are 8 more in the area for which there aren't even WP pages yet. BLM has a little info here. There's a complete map for northern Nevada at wilderness.net. We'll have to put those on the to-do list.

• OK, I've added those two. Here are the remaining 8 in the Black Rock Desert region that are missing WP pages.
  • Black Rock Desert Wilderness
  • North Jackson Mountains Wilderness
  • South Jackson Mountains Wilderness
  • Pahute Peak Wilderness
  • North Black Rock Range Wilderness
  • East Fork High Rock Canyon Wilderness
  • Little High Rock Canyon Wilderness
  • High Rock Canyon Wilderness
• And BTW, there is no page (yet) for the Black Rock Desert-High Rock Canyon Emigrant Trails National Conservation Area. (Yes, that really is its name.)

• I see that Vegaswikian added links to the missing pages here just as I did on the Black Rock Desert page. I added stubs for the 9 missing articles (8 wilderness and 1 NCA).

Nice work Vegaswikian on collecting the remaining links for wilderness areas in Nevada. You thanked me on my talk page for a minor cleanup I did afterward. But you did by far more work collecting all of it. So here's some recognition for you too.

I reverted an edit which changed the navbox to a non-standard behavior of always being collapsed, and put it back to autocollapse. This has been brought up with other navboxes before. The problem with making one navbox always collapsed is that it looks inconsistent with the standard behavior across Wikipedia. It's a fact of life that navboxes are increasing navigability between related pages. Sometimes there's a concern that a large navbox is too large a portion of a small page - but over the long term those pages can and will be expanded. That problem will solve itself over time - have some patience. It's best to keep consistent behavior. Besides, the autocollapse behavior will make navboxes collapse when there's more than one of them on one page.

I don't have a problem with the change you reverted. When an navbox is large, I consider the collapsed option as a good solution. I have a much large concern with navboxes that are forced to not collapse. If this is going to be a survey I'd say go with collapsed. I don't consider this to be non-standard behavior in any way.
