New request
Hello, not sure if this is the proper place to make this request regarding how this template works but here's the issue:

 * should link to the Slovakia national basketball team, however when I put it in an article, it comes out like this, instead showing Slovakia as Slovak Republic. Essentially the issue is that the template is linking to the redirect.  Can anyone fix this problem? Thanks in advance,
 * Yeah, this still hasn't been fixed. Examples of this are FIBA EuroBasket 2005 Division B and FIBA EuroBasket 2013 qualification.  Anybody know how to fix this?  p  b  p  20:06, 7 August 2012 (UTC)
 * ✅ – fixed in 2013. Maiō T. (talk) 22:12, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Question
Is there a way to make this template only display the FIBA country code? In some tables the full names take more space than really needed.Tvx1 21:33, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
