|TF_7_MAIN_CAT = WikiProject Burma/Myanmar articles

Obviously got missed when the other parameters were updated. Le Deluge (talk) 18:10, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

And another one :

(edit conflict)

Done. I think this only affected Talk:Ambassador of Colombia to Russia and Talk:Ambassador of Colombia to Malaysia. --Redrose64 (talk) 21:49, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks both - yes, it wasn't very widespread, but that's another two red-link categories got rid of, it all helps! Le Deluge (talk) 23:54, 24 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please replace File.Afghanistan COA Transparent.svg by File:Emblem of Afghanistan.svg, as the emblem should be gold, not red.--Antemister (talk) 14:20, 23 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did a minor edit on sandbox version. I want same edit on the main version of the template. Just a minor edit. See the diff of sandbox version of my edit/changes. --Zyma (talk) 16:55, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: Same as this discussion. While this template only has about 1,500 transclusions, I see no reason to put any strain on the job queue just to remove a few spaces. Perhaps this can be done along with another, more substantial edit in the future. Little Mountain 5 19:32, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikiproject Asia for Sindhi Wikipedia[edit]

In Sindhi Template means سانچو... I want to create a template (سانچو:وڪيپيڊيا منصوبو ايشيا which is transliteration of Template:WikiProject Asia) for Sindhi language Wikipedia. help me ...--Jogi 007 (talk) 09:46, 4 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why are country name parameters lowercased? Why random (non-alphabetic) order?[edit]

Unlike other similar templates ({{WikiProject Africa}}, {{WikiProject Oceania}}, {{WikiProject South America}} and {{WikiProject Caribbean}}) this template requires country name parameters to be lowercased, instead of normal case. For example normal-cased {{WikiProject Asia|Afghanistan=yes}} produces

only the non-standard "afghanistan" works correctly. This is true across all country names in this template. Also, the other templates (except WikiProject Oceania) display the country names in alphabetical order, while this one uses an apparently random order, which makes it difficult to identify if a particular country is supported by this template or not. Could someone with edit access address these issues?? Thanks. LibraryGeek (talk) 02:36, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In a discussion for {{WikiProject Africa}}, Jonesey95 rightly raises the idea that a major restructuring of this template may be due. Any thoughts on this are welcome. Perhaps a Wikipedia-wide discussion may be appropriate regarding the nature and use of these continental/regional templates, and how to best implement them so they may be used consistently and easily maintained in the future.
