Continents and countries

As an organizational point for the Project, is there a list or definition somewhere about the list of continents (Americas, or North and South separately? Oceania including Australia, or separately as its own continent with only one country? and so on), and a list of countries that belong to the continents? Failing guidance, I would probably just look at the nav templates that divide by continents and countries (e.g., from {{Countries of Africa}}), but I don't know that that's authoritative for the Project. Seems like the Main project page should have a #Continents and countries section, and talk about this. Mathglot (talk) 11:17, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
