To editor Dympies: 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 , ed.put'er there11:05, 31 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

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.
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 — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 20:39, 25 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, the edit request is not feasible. There is no direct link to that title within the template, but rather {{Asia topic|___}} automatically produces a link to [[___ Israel|Israel]] (and a corresponding link for each country) based on whatever prefix is put in ___. So this edit request is about {{Asia topic|Terrorism in}} behaving as intended (for example, at Terrorism in Pakistan#External links). 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)[reply]
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 Terrorism in Israel redirect, which may well be accomplished at RfD. P.I.
