You can add the |all=1 temporarily to generate a complete list (showing recognized aliases) without testing the existence of pages (so red links will be displayed for non-existing pages).

This is useful for creating parent categories listing all states with coherent names. Avoid using it in pages for specific states, or remove it rapidly as it is never needed once the category or page is created, but it may be useful to test if a page about a specific state can be linked to other pages for other states with similar naming convention, or to help unifying the naming).

When there are several aliases listed for the same state with that parameter (as displayed on this template page), the first listed is the prefered one, used by default (when displaying the navigation box without the all parameter) and that should be first created (other aliases listed should be pages redirecting to the first page if they exist). Make sure there are no ambiguities with pages not related to Venezuelan states.

Note that the displayed links are not translated in that case, but show the distinctive part (including possible aliases) of the target pagename used in Commons. This allows clear disabmiguation of possible aliases discovered and helps selecting the prefered name. When this is done, remove this special parameter to show translation. This parameter should only be used in the parent category listing all states, not in categories or galeries for individual states, so that labels for each linked state will be properly translated (from Wikidata).
