Wrong link to the US

Requested move 29 August 2023
edit- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: not moved. Wikipedia's definition of North America includes more than just the three countries of the US, Canada and Mexico, plus there's Template:Americas topic for the full Americas. I see no reason to keep this move discussion open any longer. (closed by non-admin page mover) Skarmory (talk • contribs) 17:58, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
Template:North America topic → Template:The Americas topic – This doesn't just cover Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Unreal7 (talk) 13:45, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Asking for a fix would have been a better choice than starting a requested move discussion. Which part of South America is listed in this template? For reference, North America shows and lists the parts of North America. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:57, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Template:Americas topic already exists (and covers the full Americas). CMD (talk) 04:08, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oppose. See North America#Countries, dependencies, and other territories. All the areas currently listed on the template are commonly viewed as part of the continent of North America. This continent also includes Greenland, the Caribbean, and Central America. The "Americas" generally refers to both North and South America. But since a Template:Americas topic already exists, perhaps a merge discussion should be started instead. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:41, 30 August 2023 (UTC)
