Template talk:Country data FR Yugoslavia/Archive 1

Request redirect
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is the same country as Serbia and Montenegro just under a different name. The link Federal Republic of Yugoslavia redirects to Serbia and Montenegro. I request that this page be redirected to Template:Country data Serbia and Montenegro. McLerristarr (Mclay1) (talk) 01:36, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Should redirect to Serbia and Montenegro, not Serbia. For example to Serbia and Montenegro national football team, not to Serbia national football team as it does currently. 83.131.243.41 (talk) 21:17, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Adding redirect alias code 'FRY'. Because, FR Yugoslavia is too long.

Leesw616 (talk) 04:52, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
 * That's simply a matter of creating a redirect here from Template:Country data FRY. I'll list it as a redirect alias in this template if that is done. SiBr4 (talk) 08:33, 6 December 2014 (UTC)

Wrapper function
Following the model of Template:Country data Burma and Template:Country data Myanmar (see discussion at Template talk:Country data Burma and changes implemented by ) I propose that this template become a wrapper function for Template talk:Country data Serbia and Montenegro since the two were the same state with different names and only one article exists on the state. I've setup sandboxes at Template:Country data FR Yugoslavia/sandbox and Template:Country data Serbia and Montenegro/sandbox, and reused the testcases from User:SiBr4/sandbox. This would involve moving Template:Country data FR Yugoslavia to Template:Country data Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to avoid the complication of an alias that also needs to be wrapped (since the template is at FR Yugoslavia and not the full name). Note that I've deliberately changed the shortname of FR Yugoslavia to include the FR, to distinguish it from all the other Yugoslavias. army, air force and navy aren't working for FR Yugoslavia.

Please fix the basketball, handball and water polo aliases with  because the templates bk, hb, wp create wrong wikilinks (they link to redirect pages).
 * code:  result:, correct article name: Serbia men's national basketball team
 * code:  result:, correct article name: Serbia men's national handball team
 * code:  result:, correct article name: Serbia men's national water polo team

Please change the link from Serbia national basketball team to Yugoslavia national basketball team. According to FIBA, that's more accurate. Yugoslavia / Serbia. Thanks! Why do these links even lead to Serbia? Is it because the articles had not been created? --Pelmeen10 (talk) 21:43, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:14, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm gonna specify the request, the new code should be following:

1) | link alias-basketball = Yugoslavia national  basketball team 2) | link alias-volleyball = Serbia and Montenegro  national volleyball team 3) | link alias-handball = Serbia and Montenegro national handball team 4) | link alias-water polo = Serbia and Montenegro  national water polo team 5) | link alias-baseball = Serbia and Montenegro national baseball team
 * I'm gonna let you know if it doesn't work out. Thanks! --Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:17, 5 March 2018 (UTC)
 * ✅. Third time lucky?! &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 13:09, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * 1 problem, I guess I was myself mistaken with basketball link here, sorry (other sports are OK). "" makes the link incomplete, example: →  – So, it should be like the rest of them: "" → "" . --Pelmeen10 (talk) 13:35, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
 * What if we just default to blank? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:50, 6 March 2018 (UTC)

The edit war on Yugoslavia national basketball team has continued. Users continue to insist that FIBA's grouping is irrelevant, so we are now (as of this edit ) in a situation where clicking on the "Yugoslavia" link on the 1998 and 2002 FIBA World Championship pages leads to a page whose records do not include those tournaments. 46.17.166.68 (talk)

 * probably that edit should be reverted (and the data should be removed from Serbia national basketball team), in accordance with this source, but if the discussion there is resolved with no changes, "link alias-basketball" here should be changed to the Serbia and Montenegro team. 46.17.166.68 (talk) 13:22, 5 June 2018 (UTC)

Please restore  to the template, otherwise templates such as FR Yugoslavia will link to Yugoslavia's football team instead of Serbia and Montenegro's. S.A. Julio (talk) 02:28, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
 * please could you attend to this request, as you removed this parameter. Could you also ensure you use edit summaries especially when editing high profile templates &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 11:36, 20 June 2018 (UTC)

Please change alias to "Federal Republic of Yugoslavia". The link is WP:NOTBROKEN, and prevents confusion (currently, if you hover over the flagicon, the alt text states "Serbia and Montenegro", which is misleading). Thanks, S.A.

 * Comment As a template, would it better use concise template title? I probably use  instead of other parameter value. Matthew hk (talk) 15:49, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Comment/question: Is there an established naming convention or precedence for templates such as this? Steel1943  (talk) 22:56, 29 January 2019 (UTC)


 * I think there is no . The SFR Yugoslavia counter-part is located in Template:Country data Yugoslavia, which excluding Kingdom of Yugoslavia and other era. Matthew hk (talk) 22:59, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

As the file was renamed on Commons, please change  to. Also, as only one flag was in use per Flag of Serbia and Montenegro, please remove the variant. Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 23:00, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Please fix the link-alias-basketball line to  and also change the shortname alias from Yugoslavia to FR Yugoslavia because currently I'm forced to create wikilinks like this: →, whilst the sandbox version is much easier: → . Thanks. Maiō T. (talk) 13:00, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
 * would this have any unintended consequences? What about teams before FRY was formed? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:36, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yugoslavian teams before 1992 have their own template (Template:Country data Yugoslavia). I don't see any problem with link alias basketball. Shortname alias "Yugoslavia" is not good. Editors must use  parameter in templates, see these 67 articles. Maiō T. (talk) 18:18, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I've now fixed the basketball link. As for the second part, the shortname parameter also generates links in some of the flag templates, will any articles be affected? Also, I'm unsure if changing instances of "Yugoslavia" to "FR Yugoslavia" will be desired in every article? S.A. Julio (talk) 18:43, 28 January 2020 (UTC)
 * S.A. Julio, please see my sandbox . I've created links for every flag template. For both Country data FR Yugoslavia and Country data FR Yugoslavia/sandbox. Do you see any problem there? As for your second question, there are too many articles that contain templates with code  in Wikipedia. I can't check them all. I picked one - 1998 FIFA World Cup. It definitely needs to add "FR". And maybe 99% other articles need that, too. Maiō T. (talk) 19:45, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
 * There are six Yugoslavia pages on your sandbox which do not have a corresponding article/redirect at FR Yugoslavia. Does this need resolving? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:24, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
 * futsal & ru - Fixed. I created redirects. esc & gb - These redlinks are correct. FR Yugoslavia did not participate. nbt & niht - These wikilinks are red because of  in the template code which resulting in "/sandbox" in wikilink. Maiō T. (talk) 21:00, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
