Template talk:British Isles

message: Seeing as the edit warring has resumed, and seeing how the last attempts at justifying this anomolous solution were hardly persuasive or even well participated in by actual outsiders, I've done what I asked others who were insisting they know NPOV to do long ago, and gone directly to Jimbo for an answer as to whether morphing this template is how we do NPOV or not. See User talk:Jimbo Wales#NPOV and navigation templates. Permalink MickMacNee (talk) 01:24, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: What problem? The template is called British Isles, not The British Isles. The linked article is called British Isles, not The British Isles. GoodDay (talk) 20:11, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Its allowing the title to be substituted is the issue. Snappy (talk) 20:19, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: This is the seventh time I've checked that article for its usage of this template & for the seventh time, I can't find it. GoodDay (talk) 20:28, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

text: After eight attempts, I've found it. The template says British Isles at the RoI article, so what's the problem? GoodDay (talk) 20:46, 25 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Well done! Please re-read the lengthy section above #Title, to get an idea of the issues involved. Snappy (talk) 20:50, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks. The showing of The, was my concern. GoodDay (talk) 20:58, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

text: I still don't understand what Snappy is complaining about. I don't understand these 'display' arguments. GoodDay (talk) 00:13, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

text: I checked the template at Republic of Ireland, when it was in both forms (Mick's edit & RA's edit) here & encountered no problems - the display was the same there. So what's all this functionality stuff? GoodDay (talk) 00:30, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

message: TBH, this template should also be within the scope of Wikipedia:WikiProject Ireland. Also, the Irish flag belongs too. GoodDay (talk) 01:26, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  WP: Project scopes. The flags 

message: I recently created a list, List of states of the British Isles. It's supposed to be a list of all the sovereign states that controlled territory in the British Isles. I say supposed to because it's most likely missing a significant number of them. Anyway, an reviewer suggested that I add a link to it to this template. Any suggestions on how I should go about doing that? My idea is to add it under former states with the piped link "others" or "full list." -©2015 Compassionate727(Talk)(Contributions) 13:45, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adding Link 

message: For some reason it appears that a few small native groups to the British Isles have been forgotton from the people section of the box.
I think Scottish Lowland Travellers and Indigenous Highland Travellers should be added. This would make sense as currently English Romanichal Gypsies, Irish Travellers and Welsh Kale are all listed as people groups, so it does not make sense for scottish indigenous traveller groups to be excluded.
Secondly I would argue that the Anglo Irish should be added similiar to how the Ulster Scots are included. Its already part of the British People Box so doing so would standardize things.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:B409:BA00:E1A7:7B74:144E:6456 (talk) 18:37, 10 February 2020 (UTC)
