In the Prehistory of Asia template, right now there is an entry for "Saudi Arabia" which just takes someone toHistory of Saudi Arabia. There is no entry for Arabia or the Arabian Peninsula wholly, which is much more than the geography of just Saudi Arabia. And this page is not even specifically about Saudi's prehistory, which is almost not covered at all.
I would like the entry to Saudi Arabia to be removed, and replaced with an entry called "Arabia" which links toPrehistory of Arabia. Right now Prehistory of Arabia is a redirect to Pre-Islamic Arabia, which is already an improvement for a Prehistory of Asia template, but also, I am currently working on turning this redirect into its own full page that will properly cover the prehistory of Arabia.Pogenplain (talk)04:25, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done: This is a generic template that links to articles written about each country. If it does not fit prehistory (seems like it wouldn't) a dedicated template should be created.CMD (talk)04:53, 23 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the category and portal links as these seem to default to the general "Asia" links rather than the topic specific ones. Note that the navboxes for other continents do not have these links. Also, perWP:OVERLINK, the group headers should not be linked.--woodensuperman12:08, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's already well established that we do not link to general portals from navboxes. No issue if these were set to match the topic exactly, but we can't go round spamming portals and categories for "Asia" on every article the navboxes are transcluded on. As for theWP:OVERLINK issue, this is a clear breach ofWP:BIDIRECTIONAL. We should also considerMOS:SPECIFICLINK andWP:EGG (i.e. a user may be looking for an article onFoo in sovereign states of Asia for example).--woodensuperman14:36, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not persuaded. I'd rather see links added to the headers at North America and the others, since the headers use technical terms that readers may not know. If another template editor wants to work on this, I have no objections. –Jonesey95 (talk)19:27, 9 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Egypt - the parts of Egypt arguably in Asia are desert and do not produce art. RS never treat Egyptian art as part of Asian art.Johnbod (talk) 10:35, 19 October 2025 (UTC)Johnbod (talk)10:35, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Not done:Template:Asia topic is a broader template that can generate links to a multitude of topics, not only art.Geography of Egypt is a good example, as it uses the template both directly (for the "Climate of Asia" series) and indirectly through{{Geography of Asia}}.
