Please adjust links for Korea to Minorities in Korea (North Korea, South Korea) or such, bypassing redirects and linking both the top Korean and subarticles for NK/SK. (Creating SK right now). Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 05:57, 19 September 2023 (UTC)


 * The template is built on the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes for sovereign countries and the entity of "Korea", combining north and south, is not listed there &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:53, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: From the article: "Korea is a peninsular region in East Asia." This template lists countries and a few dependencies. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:09, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

For "Capital punishment in Asia", after Palestine add "(Gaza)". Loksmythe (talk) 04:16, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌ this is a meta-template, please make your request on the talk page of the specific infobox template that has the pages you're referring to. Happy‑melon 17:55, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Please remove all the redlinks (non-existing pages) fron this template. Dympies (talk) 08:04, 31 December 2023 (UTC)


 * red links are not uncommon in shell templates like this one. Please check the documentation to find several example templates with red links. This often inspires editors to write articles and turn red links into blue links.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 11:05, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Republic of Artsakh no longer exists. It needs to be removed form this template. BSRF (talk) 14:49, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

Edit request 25 February 2024
Description of suggested change: Please remove the link to "Terrorism in Israel" until a suitable article is created. Currently Terrorism in Israel is a redirect to Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. While the redirect is there for historical reasons, it's a violation of NPOV to imply that terrorism in Israel is inherently linked to Palestine, since the phenomenon actually encompasses also far-right terrorism, Jewish extremist terrorism, criminal terror, etc.

Alternatively, please consider retargeting Terrorism in Israel or nominating it for deletion as a bad redirect. — kashmīrī  TALK  11:25, 25 February 2024 (UTC)

 * I suggest you nominate the article for deletion at WP:RFD if you think it should be deleted. It can't be deleted from this template without removing all other countries too &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the edit request is not feasible. There is no direct link to that title within the template, but rather  automatically produces a link to   (and a corresponding link for each country) based on whatever prefix is put in ___. So this edit request is about   behaving as intended (for example, at Terrorism in Pakistan). Instead, the redirect Terrorism in Israel would need to be nominated at WP:RfD if you want to remove the bluelink. SilverLocust  💬 04:27, 26 February 2024 (UTC)


 * This redirect was created in 2007 probably to provide a link in this Asia topic navbar, and its target has been bandied about a little since then. If the redirect is deleted, it will probably just be re-created later down the road. It appears that the best solution is to find the best target for the redirect, which may well be accomplished at RfD.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;,  ed.  put'er there 04:57, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * The redirect has been nominated to find a better target or other solution at Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 February 26.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;,  ed.  put'er there 05:23, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

The decision at RfD is to turn the redirect into a dab page, for example see the Israel link at Terrorism in India.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 23:47, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

At present, clicking on the "Azerbaijan" link is redirecting to Irreligion in Azerbaijan. Please change it to Secularism in Azerbaijan. Dympies (talk) 18:07, 8 June 2024 (UTC) Dympies (talk) 18:07, 8 June 2024 (UTC)


 * When I click "Azerbaijan", it takes me to Azerbaijan, which seems correct. The only template that I see linking to Irreligion in Azerbaijan is Template:Religion in Azerbaijan. Rjjiii  (talk) 22:57, 8 June 2024 (UTC)
 * , please check the page Secularism in Azerbaijan. In the bottom, you will find a template in which most of the Asian countries are listed. On clicking, Azerbaijan, we get redirected to Irreligion in Azerbaijan. I want it to redirect to Secularism in Azerbaijan instead. Please help me out. Dympies (talk) 10:38, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I can't replicate this, it appears as the normal circular link to me. CMD (talk) 11:54, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
 * It looks like someone fixed it. If I go to the bottom of Secularism in Georgia (country) and click the "Azerbaijan" link, I am taken to Secularism in Azerbaijan. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:11, 10 June 2024 (UTC)
