OK, this template is unwieldy to point of being laughable. I've converted this to look like {{ Panamgames}} since "Manila / Laguna / Cebu / Bacolod / Tagaytay / Subic / Angeles 2005" is rather stupid-looking. Either place the year only or the country + year. -- Howard the Duck 10:39, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, but I am dead against the change from city to country. We refer to multi-disciplinary events like this by their host city and not country. Do you refer to China 2008 or Beijing 2008, even thou some events are held outside Beijing, including as far away as Hong Kong?-- Huaiwei ( talk) 11:32, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
Why not just use the official placename designations as used in the logos? The 1999, 2003 and 2005 editions used country names, while the 2007 SEA Games logo uses the province name. Doing so has its merits, as the official designations were used for a reason: Brunei styled the 1999 SEA Games using its full country name as there really was no point in highlighting the fact that it can only host the events mainly in its capital/largest city; 2003 and 2005 used the country names to denote the spreading out of events into two main hubs (Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City) or one main hub with a number of minor hubs (Metro Manila and Tagaytay/Subic Bay/Los Baños/Angeles/Bacolod/Cebu); and, the recent SEA Games was styled using the province name to promote development and tourism in northeast Thailand. I find this more consistent than having to arbitrarily assign a city name just for the sake of conformity. And as it is becoming more likely for future host countries to spread out events across cities to not only avoid congestion and provide better home advantage, but also use the opportunity for self-aggrandizement or promotion of a whole region or the entire country itself, we may very well prepare to see something like Jawa 2011, Johore 2015, Visayas 2019 or Cambodia 2021. — Dakilang Isagani ( talk) 13:08, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
