I think a navbox would look better here, something like this:

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:

Other organic chemical word components

  • 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.

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