Change "Famine in Russia" link to "Russian famine (disambiguation)" – this will fix inappropriate DAB requests brought up through this template Henrygg98 (talk) 04:34, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done: This is a generic template, so it doesn't have specific links for each page. What sort of DAB requests do you mean? CMD (talk) 04:51, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Currently Nuclear Energy in Iran directs to a disambiguation page. I'd like to propose changing the link for Iran to Nuclear program of Iran Gabulousity (talk) 03:03, 13 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the ((Edit template-protected)) template. Pinging Tamzin, who tagged that page saying that it should be turned into an article, which would be the elegant resolution for this request. It sounds like Gabulousity is proposing that the primary topic for Nuclear energy in Iran is Nuclear program of Iran, which I think means that the former should redirect to the latter. That would also resolve this issue. In any event, I don't think the resolution to this issue lies within the realm of this template. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:27, 13 May 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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 — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:53, 20 September 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

 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)Reply[reply]

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

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 there} 11:05, 31 December 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
