RegioncaliforniaUndid revision [[Special:Diff/1366569128|1366569128]] by [[Special:Contributions/Prosnu|Prosnu]] ([[User talk:Prosnu|talk]]) as previous user already pointed out, the intro is meant to stay frozen per an RfC + Al aqsa compound is ON TOP of the Temple Mount, they're not the same thing
