Template:Western Sahara-note
A disputed territory with undetermined political status.[1] Formerly Spanish Sahara up to 1976, administration is currently split between Morocco and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, both of which claim the entire territory. The Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic's administrative control is limited to approximately 20% of the territory, with the remaining 80% of the territory occupied by Morocco. The United Nations Mission for the Referendum in Western Sahara is the United Nations peacekeeping mission to the territory (see Western Sahara conflict).
Western Sahara-note was created to serve as a marker of neutrality regarding the Western Sahara territorial dispute, with the main idea of preventing usage of politically-motivated entries like:
... Moroccan Sahara,
... Moroccan-occupied Sahara,
... SADR-occupied Sahara,
... Southern Provinces of Morocco, etc.
This note can be used after the plain word Western Sahara in the main text.
