Category talk:History of Palestine (region)

message: I am opposed to such a merge. The ":Category:History of Palestine" should be preserved distinctly for the history of this tragically contested geographic region, allowing for "Palestinian history" to include exclusively entries regarding the PNA, its people, background, events, etc. Separation like this is a necessary step that could sustain at least "virtual" peace in this region ;) .

 I started drafting the above as a suggested navbox to be used on category pages. It already has more rows than I first had in mind. Your suggestions would be welcome (as well as anybody else's, of course). Please feel free to revise the above rather than paste new versions below.
Perhaps it could be made with collapsible sections to save space. – Fayenatic London 07:39, 27 October 2018 (UTC)

replies: text:   , ,  etc. are geography categories; the ones in the draft template are history categories. But I see your point that partially overlapping areas make it less coherent over such a long time span. Perhaps it would be more valid & useful to confine the template to Ottoman Galilee / Palestine onwards. For that there are precedents, e.g. . – Fayenatic London 22:31, 12 October 2021 (UTC)

I intend to bring that set back to CFD (unless someone else gets there first). – Fayenatic London 22:44, 15 October 2021 (UTC)
