The Africa template has the following code that prevents redlinks in the titles: |title = {{#if:{{{title|}}} | {{{title}}} | {{#ifexist:{{{1|{{{prefix|}}}}}}_Africa{{{2|{{{suffix|}}}}}} | [[{{{1|{{{prefix|}}}}}} Africa{{{2|{{{suffix|}}}}}}]] | {{{1|{{{prefix|}}}}}} Africa{{{2|{{{suffix|}}}}}} }} }}
See Category:Bahá'í_Faith_by_country for an example of how these templates look side by side.
Could this be implemented here too please. Thanks AndrewRT(Talk) 23:57, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
Central America and the Caribbean are considered part of North America, so I'm confused by the division. Is there any reason it's done this way? Kuguar03 (talk) 06:22, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello. In Latin America there's 4 basic regions: North America, Central America, Caribbean and South America. Mexico is the only Latin American country part of North America as a region. This region includes Canada, the US, Mexico and sometimes Greenland, St. Pierre and Miquelon and Bermuda. North America is also a continent we all know that, but it is also the name of a region, there's a lot of sources about it ([1][2][3][4] [5] just a little example).
I consider it highly inappropiate to try to "deny" such a region exists, that would be false and incorrect. I will send a wrong message to xenophobic, racist or plainly uneducated people that often hate or just ignore the fact that the term North America is also used for this region of the continent.
On the other hand, it looks kinda strange that only Mexico is listed there because the US and Canada and not part of Latin America, so I don't have any problem if we list Mexico alone without explicitly naming that it belongs to North America, but only after a serious talk because I'm concerned about a bias to exclude or negate the inclusion of Mexico in North America as a region.
