Egypt should not be part of this. Lkarthik25 (talk) 16:29, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

The current inclusion seems quite broad regarding transcontinental countries. Perhaps this could be changed, but it would be better to have a consistent reason than singling out just one. CMD (talk) 17:15, 11 September 2021 (UTC)

@Lkarthik25 and Chipmunkdavis: This is frequently requested and always refused, see for example Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Template-protected edit request on 23 February 2014; Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Egypt is a Asian country?How come!; Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Egypt is in Africa!; Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Template-protected edit request on 12 December 2014; Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Error in trivia section; Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Modification edit request; Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Template-protected edit request on 25 June 2017; and Template talk:Asia topic/Archive 5#Template-protected edit request on 10 November 2018.

The Cinema of Palestine page exists but for some reason does not appear in the Cinema of Asia template, that points to Cinema of the State of Palestine. Could you fix this error please? Adam Harangozó (talk) 16:42, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

 Already done An editor fixed this problem by creating Cinema of the State of Palestine as a redirect. – Jonesey95 (talk) 17:49, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

I request the non-written article links be removed from the template, as anyone hasn't even made an article in them. There are only few ones like Britons in China, Britons in Egypt, Britons in Japan, British people in Pakistan, Britons in Turkey, Britons in UAE and Britons in Hong Kong. Please delete the rest, or initiate to create them.

(If still not sure of which template I am talking about, then it is this one:

 Not done for now: That's not how this template works. As far as I can tell, the parameter value "Britons in" exists only in British people in Pakistan, so you could boldly remove it from that article with the rationale you have provided here and see if anyone objects. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:40, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Edited to add: It looks like I missed a redirect. There are at least six articles that use the navbox in this form. Six blue links is enough for a navbox, even though there are a lot of red links. If you like, you could start a larger discussion about whether this and similar topic templates should, in general, hide red links. I think that you will meet with significant resistance; see Wikipedia:Red link. – Jonesey95 (talk) 18:50, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

If the page doesn't exist, then just remove it. Hypersonic man 11 (talk) 11:08, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure which page you refer to, but this is a default flexible template and pages sometimes don't exist for each country. CMD (talk) 11:19, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

 – Happy Editing--IAmChaos 14:17, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Please edit the topic templates to read "Names of European states and territories" and "Names of Asian states and territories" respectively. Thank you! 2001:B07:6469:3006:2833:F11F:CA16:5B66 (talk) 12:35, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

@IAmChaos:  Not done: this is the talk page for discussing improvements to the template {{Asia topic}}. Please make your request at the talk page for the article concerned. The edit required at Name of Armenia#External links is to alter

Since when

Since when is Egypt part of Asia? Is it not part of Africa? Peter Horn User talk 01:01, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

It's a good thing we have the world's biggest encyclopedia to tell us where Egypt is. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:49, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

If Peter Horn is actually asking about which times in history Egypt was part of both Africa and Asia, this is not the right talk page for that thorny issue. Control/occupation of the Sinai Peninsula, which is in Asia, has changed many times over the past couple of centuries. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:58, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

The original border between Africa and Asia was the Nile, so the answer to "since when" is "since the concepts were invented". CMD (talk) 04:18, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

@Chipmunkdavis: How far up the Nile River? Until the same latitude as the tip of the Red Sea? Peter Horn User talk 16:45, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

This was the ancient Greek period, so I don't think they had that mapped. CMD (talk) 17:39, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

There is plenty on this matter in the archives of this page. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:50, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
