Template talk:North America topic

Edit request 17 July 2013

There is a version in the sandbox that will update the "state" parameter to match that in the directions at Template:Navbox#Setup parameters. Please update this navbox, thanks. --Funandtrvl (talk) 20:23, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

Please replace the line

|group2 = {{#if:{{{countries_only|}}} | |Dependencies and<br>other territories}}

with

|group2 = {{#if:{{{countries_only|}}} | |{{longitem|Dependencies and<br/>other territories}}}}

per Template:Americas topic and other similar templates (in Category:Configurable area-topic templates).

There is no article named "Cabinet of Greenland". The proper article to replace said name is "Naalakkersuisut" Kristoffer "Wiki" Winkler (talk) 13:01, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Where do you see Cabinet of Greenland and where do you want it replaced with Naalakkersuisut? Please remember this continent-topic template is transcluded on multiple navigational templates. If there is a technical problem with a specific transclusion (e.g., {{Topic of North America}}), it cannot be corrected here. See the template's documentation for help with fixing a specific transclusion. — {{U|Technical 13}} ^{(t • e • c)} 13:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

A simple solution for problems like this is creating a redirect from Cabinet of Greenland to Naalakkersuisut, which I've just done. As T13 says, there's nothing that can be done at this template page. SiBr₄ (talk) 14:45, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

This template is supposed to be about ski resorts, but instead it has a bunch of countries and territories with red links. It needs some fixes but is currently protected. I would request that either (i) it be fixed or (ii) it be unprotected so that the Wikipedia community can start to fix it. As it stands it looks screwy and gives Wikipedia a amateurish look. See its use here (bottom of page): List of ski areas and resorts in the United States

This template is not supposed to be about ski resorts specifically; it is a general template that can be used in articles on many different topics. For the linked article, where pages for only two of the navbox's entries exist, I would suggest just removing the template, moving any non-red links to the "See also" section. SiBr₄ (talk) 17:49, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion. I have done as you suggested and removed the template but added back the single non-red link to the See Also section. Issue resolved, thanks for the guidance. Mdukas (talk) 23:51, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

Add List of California wildfires be placed next to US in brackets. Example: (California). Cheers - Kyle1278 (talk) 03:12, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Not done: You might have requested this on the wrong template. This template is generally used for broad topics that are country-level. California is too specific, and not meant for a template like this. Otherwise, if I'm misunderstanding, you should give a syntax usage of how possibly List of California wildfires should be linked from this template You can try {{North America topic|List of | wildfires}}, but that gets you country-level wildfires. — Andy W. (talk · ctb) 03:27, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for the info and reply, ill take a look at it and see if another way of linking is possible. Cheers - Kyle1278 (talk) 03:30, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

You could use Template:United States topic for a state-level list, though that would have a lot of redlinks:
