I propose the following change:

{{split|part=yes|Template:2011 Egyptian protests}}
The Egyptian protests are garnering multiple articles, so it should be split off into a separate template from this one. The Egyptian related subjects would be moved off to the new template, leaving only the main Egypt protest article on this template.
Considering the number of notable peopel connected to these protests, the nav template should be separated to provide better division between Egyptian and other Arab protests, and show what is clearly Egyptian topics.

I like the idea of having a template for the entire region's protests, but it seems too un-differentiated to have the people and political groups mashed together. I think if there are enough sub-articles for this template to make sense, than we have to break out the people/party sections by country in some way. Ocaasi (talk) 11:06, 12 February 2011 (UTC)
I note that Iran has been removed from the template today. It is well known that Iran is not 'Arab' but the protests in Iran are clearly very highly connected to those which are occuring in Arab countries in the region (the 2010–2011 Arab world protests article already contains two paragraphs on the Iran protests), and to completely exclude Iran from this template is in my view the wrong approach.
I propose that either:
(1) a 'See also' section be added to the template, with a link to the Iran protests included there; or (2) a 'Concurrent protests outside the Arab world' section be added, with Iran included there.

I thought about merging the two groups, as "Major" and "Minor" are subjective terms, but as I noticed a difference between the two groups was that the "Major" ones had their own articles while the "Minor"'s were sections in the main article, I thought that there might be some sort of distinction. If they are separated, though, it has to be by actual criteria beyond wiki notability. --Muboshgu (talk) 15:54, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
I removed Iranian link in this template: The reason is 1. Iranian are struggling for democracy (according to all major independent sources), 2. Arab world does not seem to be asking for that (apart from Aljazeera's claim), 3. The link between these two things are wp:or. Major sources do distinguish cases . And I think even collecting all the arab countries in one path is highly disputed (Tunisia differes greatly from Egypt and that from yeman and that from Jordan). I am concerend about aljazeera-ization of curent event in the middle east. This is, for freedon fighters in the middle east, very counter productive. Believe me.

note: there is a WP:3RR thread related to this dispute here. Do not remove this message. It is common practice to notify involved parties of disputes related to their editing. Ocaasi (talk) 00:13, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't think we MUST follow 2010–2011 Arab world protests title for this template, there are no rules that say so. These are two separate pages. So I propose that we take the initiative ourselves, and rename this template to 2010–2011 Protests in the Middle East or 2010-2011 Middle East Protests, per BBC.[7] Kurdo777 (talk) 23:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

Instead of using a softbreak between countries, the template should return to having a softbreak between items, say using {{-w}} , and each country should be started with a linebreak <br/> instead of {{.w}} to clearly separate countries by line in each section, making the appearance cleaner. 64.229.100.61 (talk) 23:00, 17 February 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I've considered changing this template to a navboxsubgroup. We can group articles according to their countries. If an arab protest has more than 3 articles for instance (we can talk about the minimum number or the importance of the protests), then we create a new group for such country. What do you think? Here's something I've tried:

2011 Bahrain Grand Prix is missing from the template. 65.95.14.96 (talk) 00:12, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
