Is this going to replace mediawiki:East_Asia, mediawiki:South_Asia etc? --Jiang 05:04, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- No, I have only added {{msg:Asia}} to countries that did not fit into any of those sub Asian groups. --Cantus 05:28, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Why does the PRC get East Asia and China get Asia? What's the difference? Most of the articles you put this on (eg Turkmenistan) should get mediawiki:Central_Asia. --Jiang 05:33, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, but MediaWiki:Central_Asia does not exist! And I don't have the criteria on hand to make it. --Cantus 05:36, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)
Now it does... This leaves us with Georgia, Armenia, and possibly some others in the region. --Jiang 06:43, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I tinkered with it a bit. I put the Transcaucasia countries in Central Asia and I am contemplating putting Mongolia in East Asia. But other than that, the list is unchanged. WhisperToMe 06:12, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- These groups have been defined by experts, I encourage you not to change them. --Cantus 07:15, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
East Asia claims Mongolia is part of it. --Jiang 07:50, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Corrected. --Cantus 08:07, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- Those definitions are not the only ones that are used. There are different ways to divide Asia into regions. Not everyone defines the countries of Transcaucasia as in Southwest Asia. For instance, my world geography textbook doesn't. Some people include Pakistan as part of Southwest Asia. WhisperToMe 20:23, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
BTW, my textbook is from 2002. WhisperToMe 22:26, 9 Apr 2004 (UTC)
