Generally, it seems that a navbox is preferred when you have a list of links to other related articles, (see
WP:NAV and
Ice II). I don't know why this needs to be an ordinary section; if you have a special reason please tell us, otherwise, if no one objects in a couple of days, I'll go ahead and replace this template.

I've added groups to the navbox, if anything is missing or out of place, please fix it.

I've updated the template to a navbox. Here is the old version:
Obviously, one could continue creating pages for every organic chemistry affix (e.g. meth-, eth-, prop-, cis-, trans-, etc.), but this begs the question, when do we stop? Do we even need the ones here? I'm starting to think that most of these pages are unnecessary.

Right. This information should be in wiktionary not wikipedia. All prefixes belonging to any topic can be categorized there. –

Or we could merge them all into one page about components of organic chemical names, but keep it on Wikipedia.
