:{{to|Dympies}} red links are not uncommon in shell templates like this one. Please check the documentation to find several example templates with red links.

== Add new tab ==
 
== Edit request 1 January 2024 ==
Would it be a good idea to add in a new 'tab' called "Regional". And include the existing articles -> Islam in Southeast Asia and Islam in South Asia. After rechecking, I'm not sure why the 'Islam in Asia' template suddenly redirected to this 'Asia' template? My question was for the former but I re-tried and can't reach it. [[User:Danial Bass|Danial Bass]] ([[User talk:Danial Bass|talk]]) 00:08, 19 May 2022 (UTC)
:That is because this is a general wrapper template, so the "Islam in Asia" template is just all the entries here with "Islam in" automatically applied as a prefix. To add regional links would need the creation of a new dedicated template. [[User:Chipmunkdavis|CMD]] ([[User talk:Chipmunkdavis|talk]]) 02:03, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Please correct the title to "Lists of hospitals in Asia", because "List of hospitals in Asia" is syntactically incorrect due to number (there are a couple of dozen ''lists'' linked through this template).

▲{{Edit template-protected|Template:Asia topic|answered=yes}}
Please remove the link to "Terrorism in Israel" until a suitable article is created. Currently [[Terrorism in Israel]] is a redirect to [[Timeline of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict]]. While the redirect is there for historical reasons, it's a violation of NPOV to imply that terrorism in Israel is inherently linked to Palestine, since the phenomenon actually encompasses also [[far-right terrorism]], [[Jewish extremist terrorism]], criminal terror, etc.
Hello,
Please check the dablinks for nuclear energy in Iran as it is currently directed to a disambiguated link.

::One link on the disambiguation page, [[Nuclear program of Iran]], is a more direct source to what is shown on the template for other countries; while the other link directs users to a nuclear power plant in Iran, [[Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant]].

::Yeah, the edit request is not feasible. There is no direct link to that title within the template, but rather <code>{{tlp|Asia topic|___}}</code> automatically produces a link to <code><nowiki>[[___ Israel|Israel]]</nowiki></code> (and a corresponding link for each country) based on whatever prefix is put in ___. So this edit request is about <code>{{tlp|Asia topic|Terrorism in}}</code> behaving as intended (for example, at [[Terrorism in Pakistan#External links]]). Instead, the redirect {{no redirect|Terrorism in Israel}} would need to be nominated at [[WP:RfD]] if you want to remove the bluelink.

::This redirect was created in 2007 probably to provide a link in this Asia topic navbar, and its target has been bandied about a little since then.

== How to solve the link to [[Romani people in Iran]] ==
 
I have no clue how to solve the link to the disambiguation page [[Romani people in Iran]] in this template (the version: Romani people in Asia). More then likely, linking to [[Romani people in Iran (disambiguation)]] can solve the issue. I have nor the knowledge nor the rights to do that. <span style="border:1px solid green; padding:0 2px">[[User:The Banner|<span style="color:green">The&nbsp;Banner</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:The Banner|<i style="color:maroon">talk</i>]]</span> 23:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
:The dab page at [[Romani people in Iran]] should probably not contain a link to [[Persian Romani]], since that page is about a spoken language. The [[Ghorbati]] are apparently not Romani people. The [[Zargari tribe]] are apparently the only actual Romani in Iran, according to the articles I have found on Wikipedia, so I would convert [[Romani people in Iran]] into a redirect to that latter page. [Edited to add: After looking at the history of that dab page, I have reverted to its original version, which appears to have been a correct redirect.] – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 00:50, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
