Here are some tasks awaiting attention:

Comments[edit]

Add Belize! They speak English, and an English based creole, they take CXC's and they are part of CARICOM!!!!

Belize is on the bottom of the template which is where nations with Caribbean coastlines are located. Joelito (talk) 13:21, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lists are there[edit]

The template makes it look like most lists of universities (and colleges) for a given country doesn't exist. Actually, most of them do, like List of universities in the Cayman Islands and List of universities in Dominica. But, I don't know how to fix the linking. Any help is highly appreciated!

The boundary between the Greater and Lesser Antilles[edit]

Can anyone tell me why the very small Virgin Passage is used as the boundary between the Greater and Lesser Antilles instead of the more significant Anegada Passage? In my opinion, Anegada Passage would be a much better choice as all the islands east of this Passage are very small and spreading southerly towards South America. Also, by using Anegada Passage as the boundary, all three parts of the Virgin Islands would be included in the Greater Antilles. Right now, only the Spanish Virgin Islands is considered a part of the Greater Antilles, that's weird. 2001:8003:9008:1301:70BF:5EFB:E84A:9D69 (talk) 03:58, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Country names with "The"[edit]

We should use similar functionality here as is employed at Template:North America topic.--Pharos (talk) 22:05, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've mostly implemented this, but to make it a bit better we'd also have the functionality where "the" is only employed when there's a specific topic specified. It's just a little more code at the North America one.--Pharos (talk) 18:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
