Template talk:Country data Slovakia

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,
 * Spartan008, you're right. Following 4 lines must be removed:
 * | name alias-basketball = Slovak Republic
 * | link alias-basketball = Slovak Republic national basketball team
 * | name alias-badminton = Slovak Republic
 * | link alias-badminton = Slovak Republic national badminton team
 * Basketball and badminton are unnecessary exceptions. All the other templates use the short form "Slovakia". 195.91.109.79 (talk) 20:29, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

The coat of arms-less version should be added as a 1990 alias as well (since it represented Slovakia within the fifth Czechoslovak Republic) Glide08 (talk) 11:38, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * As Vinnie Barbarino would say, "I am so confused!" It begins with the dates on the flags at Flag of Slovakia, which show both Flag of Slovakia (1939–1945).svg and Flag of the Czech Republic.svg used around 1990. Then we follow the Fifth Czechoslovak Republic redirect to the article "Czech and Slovak Federative Republic" (where btw the word "fifth" isn't even mentioned) and find that the Flag of the Czech Republic.svg flag was used. So how are we supposed to determine which "coat of arms-less version" is needed here?  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'r there 13:58, 25 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Flag of Slovakia (1939–1945).svg was the State flag of Slovakia in 1990-92 (just like Flag of California.svg is Califronia's state flag, or Flag of Bavaria (striped).svg is Bavaria's state flag), while Flag of the Czech Republic.svg was the Federal Flag of Czechoslovakia.
