List of places in Georgia (country) currently redirects to the disambiguation page at List of places in Georgia because it is unclear whether it should target List of municipalities in Georgia (country) or List of cities and towns in Georgia (country) or Administrative divisions of Georgia (country). Please update this template to point directly to one of these list articles. Mdewman6 (talk) 00:17, 2 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Deactivating edit request per the warning at the top of this page - there's nothing this generic meta-navbox can do here. Probably the best solution is to reformat List of places in Georgia (country) as list of lists similar to List of feature films with LGBT characters rather than a disambiguation page. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 20:20, 4 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Description of suggested change: Could an article I have recently created about the History of Education in Wales be added to the "History of education in Europe" template? The equivalent pages for England and Scotland are already there.

I'm not sure what changes to the code would be needed.Llewee (talk) 16:06, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Done You have to pass |WLS=yes to the call to ((Europe topic)). It seems the navbox you are referring to was only used on History of education in England and History of education in France, where I've added the parameter. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 17:42, 7 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Artsakh should be removed and Akrotiri and Dhekelia added. Dasomm (talk) 12:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Not sure about the value of A&D links, but I agree Artsakh (((#if:(({NKR|♦))}|* [[(({NKR|(({1|(({prefix|)))))) ((#ifeq:(({article|yes))}|yes|the)) Republic of Artsakh (({2| (({suffix|))))))))}|Artsakh]]))) should be removed. If there are no objections, I will open a template edit request. CMD (talk) 01:42, 20 November 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please change 2024 in Republic of Ireland to 2024 in Ireland, to be consistency with preceding Year in Ireland pages. GoodDay (talk) 00:52, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@GoodDay:  Not done.

 Comment: Different scopes. The Republic of Ireland is not all of Ireland. Check the category trees for Category:2020s in the Republic of Ireland and Category:2020s in Ireland. Est. 2021 (talk · contribs) 02:03, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

My apologies @Est. 2021:, I meant another Template. GoodDay (talk) 05:57, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why is the Basque Country not included in "Dependencies and other entities"? I understand it is a cultural region and falls under both Spain and France. Salmoonlight (talk) 20:44, 19 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

There are many cultural regions that cross borders in Europe, however they are not political entities which is what is covered within this template. CMD (talk) 03:23, 20 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
