message: I added both of these back on July 19th, and as they have not been reverted, I hope they remain.  They, like Norfolk Island, are territories of Australia and are included in , and fit in just fine. I'm discussing the past addition here because their addition to  had been reverted because I hadn't discussed it here. OzLawyer 17:06, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think they should be included. Whereas Norfolk Island is geographically Oceanian and considered a dependency, Christmas Island and Cocos Islands are not. They are Indian Ocean Territories and are not located in Oceania. They may be considered in Oceania only as part of Australia, not apart from it.--cj | talk 20:36, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I added them back.  They're included on Oceania (as part of Australasia) so why not here? OzLawyer 12:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

message: For instance, the placement of New Zealand in Polynesia in the template, but in Australasia in Oceania. These should probably be edited so that they match. -Yupik 07:37, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Template and actual Oceania page differ

message: Copied from User talk:Cool Cat:
: I notice you have also amended this template in a similar manner [to ]. Unfortunately it too now suffers from unmanaged linewrap. However, distinguishing between each line should still be straightforward once this linewrap is addressed, as there is some alignment provided by the images and bold links. As with  above,  does not indicate the template's content, so recommend  or the like.

thread_title:  Why do you include East Timor in Oceania? 

message: The continent is called "Australia," NOT "Oceania." This page, and any similar ones, needs to be renamed to reflect this. Thank you.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.145.55 (talk) 22:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Although it is called a dependency, is it a dependency in the ordinary sense of the word? Its status is more like an autonomous constituent, rather than a dependency like other dependencies on the template. Von Kornberg (talk) 15:52, 24 July 2010 (UTC)
