As a stylistic matter I think it's probably better to merge all instances than to merge just some (by allowing these and the Americas topic to coexist). Wolfman said on my talk page that we might as well merge all continents to a single template, but I think that is a ridiculous strawman. Other continents are not as connected culturally and historically as the Americas, and this combined navbox is still relatively small (the other problem with over-merging being excessive length). This template would also allow us to create links to ____ of the Caribbean, ____ of Latin America, and ____ of Central America as optional parameters.

The Kingdom of Netherlands now comprises four constituent states that are constitutionally equal, namely the European Netherlands and three constituent countries in the Caribbean (Curaçao, Aruba and Sint Maarten), and territories in the Caribbean that are incorporated into the European Netherlands (Bonaire, Saba and Saint Eustatius). Therefore, Curaçao and Aruba should be listed among the "states" not the "other territories", either separately or at least along with Bonaire.<a href="/wiki/User:Apcbg" title="User:Apcbg">Apcbg</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Apcbg" title="User talk:Apcbg">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:South_America_topic#c-Apcbg-2011-01-18T10:13:00.000Z-Chipmunkdavis-2011-01-18T07:00:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:13, 18 January 2011 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Apcbg-2011-01-18T10:13:00.000Z-Chipmunkdavis-2011-01-18T07:00:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Apcbg-2011-01-18T10:13:00.000Z-Chipmunkdavis-2011-01-18T07:00:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Chipmunkdavis-2011-01-18T10:33:00.000Z-Apcbg-2011-01-18T10:13:00.000Z"></span>Yes, but the fact is that the Kingdom is overshadowed by the European Netherlands, a point complicated by the fact that the European part never bothered to get a new name once the Kingdom was extended.

Doesn't help us much with English though. France has weird things, noone knows what New Caledonia is, French Polynesia has a unique name with a normal status, etc. I think overseas departments are fully equal to European ones, some French politician said something along those lines when they were asked whether the overseas departments would use the Euro. Back to the netherlands, they've decided to confuse things more by including islands in the European (not European anymore I suppose) part but that remain outside the EU. <a href="/wiki/User:Chipmunkdavis" title="User:Chipmunkdavis">Chipmunkdavis</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chipmunkdavis" title="User talk:Chipmunkdavis">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:South_America_topic#c-Chipmunkdavis-2011-01-19T05:50:00.000Z-Apcbg-2011-01-18T20:37:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:50, 19 January 2011 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Chipmunkdavis-2011-01-19T05:50:00.000Z-Apcbg-2011-01-18T20:37:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Chipmunkdavis-2011-01-19T05:50:00.000Z-Apcbg-2011-01-18T20:37:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Semi-protected_edit_request_on_1_January_2014" data-mw-thread-id="h-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_1_January_2014-2014-01-01T03:58:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_1_January_2014-2014-01-01T03:58:00.000Z"></span>Semi-protected edit request on 1 January 2014<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_1_January_2014-2014-01-01T03:58:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template_talk:South_America_topic&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: Semi-protected edit request on 1 January 2014"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-120.28.127.179-2014-01-01T03:58:00.000Z-Semi-protected_edit_request_on_1_January_2014"></span><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1237879475"><table class="plainlinks tmbox mbox-small tmbox-notice editrequest" role="presentation" data-origlevel="semi"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/30px-Information_icon4.svg.png" decoding="async" width="30" height="30" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/45px-Information_icon4.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/60px-Information_icon4.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="620" data-file-height="620"/></span></span></td><td class="mbox-text">This <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_requests" title="Wikipedia:Edit requests">edit request</a> has been answered.

So it makes sense that the link is red, except that it results in a dead-end for users (which is the angle that brought me in, because the situation confused me). The territory's article – <a href="/wiki/South_Georgia_and_the_South_Sandwich_Islands" title="South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands">South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands</a> – is valid, so maybe the link could be changed to the article itself?
