I must say, "I can't believe that I've ever seen a template with this high a proportion of redlinks." Not sure that it even should be, "used." Unschool (talk) 02:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)※
I think it might be more helpful to change it to Template:History of slavery in North America.Harrypotter (talk) 01:10, 21 August 2010 (UTC)※
Removing the section heading 'Topics'※
- Note that column 2 is sorted vertically (the subheadings under topics), but column one is not. I think that's a misrake. But don't know how to fix it myself. deisenbe (talk) 13:33, 24 June 2021 (UTC)※
- Thanks. Removed the vertical coding which at least centered the word 'Topics', but subsequent fiddling with the coding shows nothing underneath the 'History' section. Randy Kryn (talk) 14:05, 24 June 2021 (UTC)※
Suggested edit※
I can't figure out how. Or I would just do it boldly but I propose removing the following redlinks, which is not to say that they couldn't be added back later but I would argue in most cases they are superfluous to the point and I think distracting to the point of undermining the value of the template. thoughts?
- History of slavery in Hawaii - if there was any, can be covered in general history of pre-American colonization Hawaii
- History of slavery in Idaho - low population state admitted long after legal abolition of U.S. slavery, cases of aboriginal/illegal slavery can be covered in specific articles
- History of slavery in Maine - no need for specific slavery history article bc part of Massachusetts as District of Maine then admitted as a free state under Missouri Compromise
- History of slavery in Nevada - low-population state admitted during the ACW with multiple constitutions prohibiting slavery
- History of slavery in Oregon - see history of slavery in the United States for links to relevant history articles
- History of slavery in Washington (state) - ditto
