Template talk:Country data Chinese Taipei

Missing at least two flags
This sporting flag is broadly used outside the Olympics, but there need to be "|soccer" ("|football" may be too amibiguous; I'll leave that to others to sort out) and "|Paralympics" parameters for C.T. that display the correct flags. See Chinese Taipei for the flags. — SMcCandlish &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93;   ‹(-¿-)› 20:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Done. These are trivial to add - just look at some other flag templates for examples to copy from.  Andrwsc 22:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Confusion
This makes no sense to me:


 * Chinese Taipei = Chinese Taipei (Use this only for "historical" references to Chinese Taipei national sports teams before the "Chinese Taipei" flag and name were first used in 1979)

(Emphasis added.)

It violates its own instructions; rather, there should simply be a note that for pre-'79 usage, it should be Republic of China =  Republic of China (or perhaps 🇹🇼 Taiwan ; I'm not really sure which).

 * I added this variant because we're starting to expand the usage of the Country data templates beyond the flag etc. templates. Specifically, I am starting to roll out templates for national sports teams, such as fb for football and bk for basketball (with more sports to come).  My motivation is to replace over a thousand redundant flag templates (e.g. check out Category:National football team templates).  In the case of Chinese Taipei, articles such as Chinese Taipei national football team include the history of the team prior to the "Chinese Taipei" naming.  Therefore, if I want to refer to results prior to 1979, I can now use   for .  Without this flag variant in this template, we would get   for, which produces a wikilink of Republic of China national football team, which is a redirect.  We want to avoid the redirects.  Hope this makes sense.  Andrwsc 09:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I get that. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93; ‹(-¿-)› 09:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Variant needed
National volleyball teams uses a different, then a variant should be used instead the one with olympic rings.

Football flags
(flag on FIFA website, but never used) and (former football flag)

I think they also would be added as flag variants of Chinese Taipei. --Virtpedia (talk) 07:06, 8 August 2012 (UTC)

The rendering of the football flag has for some reason changed (become grainier). 77topaz (talk) 04:58, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Football Flag deleted
The football flag was deleted, someone please replace the deleted flag with the standard Chinese Taipei flag for the meantime.--Hariboneagle927 (talk) 00:48, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Chinese Taipei national football team use Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svgics flag in international events. Examples:
 * 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification
 * 2013 EAFF East Asian Cup
 * 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup qualification
 * 2013 AFC Challenge Cup
 * AFC U-16 Women's Championship 2013 qualifiers--Jitcji (talk) 06:09, 19 September 2014 (UTC)


 * The present flag icon on FIFA website is Olympics flag, too.--Jitcji (talk) 08:23, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Removed the football flag from the template. now results in the default Chinese Taipei Olympic flag: . SiBr4 (talk) 09:31, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

I want to add template for Chinese Taipei's football flag, so in the football pages won't use the Olympic flag instead. Flix11 (talk) 07:14, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format. Cabayi (talk) 14:04, 3 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template.
 * Sorry, on a second reading it looks like you just want to undo the previous change, the removal of football flags. Please discuss it and establish consensus before requesting the change or else we'll just keep shuttling between having and not having football flags. Cabayi (talk) 14:07, 3 July 2017 (UTC)

Variant needed
We need a variant of this that does "Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)". In too many places, using "Chinese Taipei" is unencyclopedic/unhelpful; 99%+ of our readers have never heard this name, and they should be able to find "Taiwan" when doing an in-page search. We have all sorts of variations for China, e.g. "China, People's Republic of", "China (People's Republic of)", and "People's Republic of China", as well as "China" and "PRC". — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  03:01, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * Implemented: : Chinese Taipei (Taiwan).  However,  still just outputs "Chinese Taipei":  undefined. But this may be intentional, as  does that, too:  undefined.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ &gt;ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ&lt;  03:14, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

Please add  so the flag used by FIFA (confirmed here and larger here) is able to be used for football templates. Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2018 (UTC) S.A. Julio (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. There seems to have been multiple discussions whether there is a need for a separate football flag. $\color{blue}\chi$chi (talk) 11:54, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * The discussions were around a different flag, File:Chinese Taipei Football Flag on FIFA website.svg, which FIFA no longer uses. This was removed as FIFA use a flag which more closely resembles the Olympic flag (File:Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg). However, File:Flag of Chinese Taipei (FIFA).svg is the flag used by FIFA (as shown on their association page), which has slight differences from the Olympic flag. As per previous discussions on WP:FOOTY, football flags should reflect what is used by FIFA. S.A. Julio (talk) 14:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi, File:Flag of Chinese Taipei (FIFA).svg was deleted from commons 9 May 2019 which appears to be causing issues on ~700 pages (see CAT:MISSFILE). Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 09:01, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
