Talk:Falkland Islands

Country status

 * Technically, the Falkland Islands aren't a country, but an archipelago (group of islands) located to the east of South America. Josegiraffio 10:08, 27 December 2011 (EST)
 * There are many things that don't really count as countries on our template, but I think we risk over complicating things by categorizing everything specifically. As well as countries there are:

 * Honestly, I don' think we really need to change anything. Like Cook said, it would overcomplicate things. And besides, it says right at the top of each of those pages wether or not it is an actual country or whatever. I would say, just make an extra section in the countries template for territories, partly recognized countries, etc. Kind of like how the towns and cities template has a section for cities in the US and a section for cities elsewhere. -- Nick97  ( talk ~  contribs )  18:19, 27 December 2011 (EST)
