::: If I understood you right, we keep on categorizing countries primarily by [[Western Asia]] and such but not by [[Middle East]] which is very puzzling according to the map: ---->----------------->---------------->----------------------------->----------------------------> [[Image:MiddleEast map.png|thumb|130px|right]]
::: Anyways, I think we can continue keeping [[:Category:Middle East]] and [[Middle East]] page and categorize by it in addition to main categories [[:Category:Western Asia]], [[:Category:Northern Africa]], [[:Category:Eastern Africa]], [[:Category:Southern Asia]] and [[:Category:Central Asia]] (these unite all the countries in the Middle East by any definition of a latter one). However, if we want to use Middle East in the IsIn template, then creating [[:Category:Middle East (Asia)]] and [[:Category:Middle East (Africa)]] would be inevitable as otherwise it will be showing that Middle East is only in either Africa or Asia. So, I see we can either restrain from using Middle East within IsIn template, or create these categories and use them accordingly.--[[User:Sigurdas|Sigurdas]] 17:05, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 
::::Jep, keeping the [[:Category:Middle East]] additionally seems a good option. Also, about the IsIn, we could use like Western Asia -> Countryname, so no problem with categorizing more specific (Middle East (West), Middle East (East), etc) ;-) --[[User:Platschi|Platschi]] 10:40, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
