This list of street papers would be useful. Only the last page is not online. --Apoc2400 (talk) 17:20, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good thinking! I have this book in my library.

I have also been adding papers here and there when I stumble across them online. When I first made this template it was basically INSP membership, so anything we can do to expand it is welcome. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 17:24, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How about we unlink the names of continents and countries? The reader here is unlikely to be interested in reading about Europe or United States. --Apoc2400 (talk) 11:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds fine. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 15:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I unlinked the continents. But I decided to keep the countries; it might be useful to have a link (for example, if someone notices that country X has a lot of newspapers, they might want to see why). Another alternative would be to link each one to "Homelessness in X" but pipe it, as in [[Homelessness in the United States|United States]]. rʨanaɢ ^talk/_contribs 17:19, 2 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Navigation boxes exist to help navigate between related articles. there should be no redlinks in a navbox (though i have occasionally added ones which are clearly notable and not created yet). these are overwhelmingly redlinks. all those redlinks should be moved to "requested articles" and removed from the navbox until the articles are written. street papers are by no means notable by default, so even my occasional rule stretching cannot apply here.(mercurywoodrose)50.193.19.66 (talk) 17:38, 15 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I moved all the redlinked paper names to Wikipedia:Requested articles, the newspaper section. i included the hidden references, and kept country names as a guide. please dont add them back until rticles or article sections are created.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:17, 25 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
