Is this going by traditional continents or todays? I mean today there are 6 continents, but "traditionaly" there are 7. Asia of the traditional, has since joined with Europe to form the super continent "Eurasia" (it's cos they're mostly on the same plate).[[User:Forerunner|Forerunner]] 22:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

:I don't think there's any such thing as a "traditional" continent. Some systems count different areas as one "continent" - North and South America can just be the America's. Antarctica can be left out altogether. Australia and the Pacific get merged into asia. Eurasia and Africa suddenly become one. My schools taught me that Asia and Europe were geopolitically separate, but part of the Eurasia supercontinent. It all depends on what system you use. That's why the template lists Eurasia, but links to Asia and Europe separately. -- <b>[[Halopedia:Administrators|<font color=blue>Administrator</font>]] [[User:Specops306|<font color=blue>Specops306</font>]] - ''[[User Talk:Specops306|<font color=purple>Qur'a 'Morhek</font>]]'' <sup>''[[w:c:halofanon:Operation: HOT GATES|<u><font color=blue>Honour Light Your Way!</font></u>]]''</sup></b> 09:41, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
