Thailand not listed. Help?

[edit]
Thailand is listed under Category:Asia if you click the "(next 200)" link under subcategories. --Chiacomo (talk) 20:31, 18 September 2005 (UTC)Reply

Cleanup

[edit]

I've been looking at the other continent categories, how do I tidy up the section under the latest stories list for categories? I'd like to remove the next/prev and complete list of stories. I've been looking at the Category:Australia one and would like to more closely follow it. Brianmc 08:40, 28 October 2005 (UTC)Reply

Asia is TOO BIG for a Category

[edit]

Asia needs to be broken up into categories that let people better understand.

We have several very high-use categories. That's not inherently bad. Creating subregions would produce needless bureaucracy and arguments over the precise definitions of their boundaries; replacing this news region with them, as you propose, poses the same problems and removes this category for no reason. Instead, we have chosen to only subdivide news regions by country, with exceptions like Category:Korean Peninsula where the subregion is easily defined. Also, note we classify Australia and other Pacific islands as part of our Oceania news region. Heavy Water (talk) 01:29, 2 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
