Template talk:Country data South Korea

Edit request from Shingkei, 30 December 2010
I want to add the following line.
 * name alias-football = Korea Republic

Shingkei (talk) 12:56, 30 December 2010 (UTC)


 * ❌ I think you should look at WikiProject_Flag_Template and make your own template for these football aliases. I see no evidence at WP:WPFT or on their talk pages that consensus supports the addition you've requested.  K rakatoa    K atie   05:56, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Why other sports such as basketball can do so but not football?

and you can look at WikiProject_Flag_Template


 * South Korea is referred to as "Korea Republic" by FIFA. Therefore, Template:Country data South Korea includes name alias-football so that 🇰🇷 south korea produces ......
 * Hi Shingkei, this matter was recently discussed and resolved here. The short answer is that WP follows commonly-used names, not official names. --Mkativerata (talk) 18:39, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: This isn't a problem with the template Template:Country data South Korea but with the image File:Flag of South Korea.svg, which is held on Wikimedia Commons. There was a recent problem at Commons where they had to replace some hardware, and some images were unavailable at certain sizes for a few hours. This was probably one of them: it looks fine to me. -- Red rose64 (talk) 23:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

The small size of the flag is not visible now. It is a problem with File:Flag of South Korea.svg. I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix the image. Please fix it. Thanks. Nicolas Love (talk) 21:45, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but in all the places that I've looked, it displays fine. On which article is it not displaying for you? -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:46, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * It's still not displaying correctly. Examples: Template:Country_data_South_Korea, 2012 Formula One season. cherkash (talk) 13:39, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
 * These all display fine for me. It's possible that you are holding a corrupt copy of the image in your computer's cache. Have you tried a WP:BYPASS? -- Red rose64 (talk) 14:43, 14 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I can't see the flag yet. --186.52.128.76 (talk) 20:25, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

Weird. I can see 21px and 22px without a problem, but 23px is blank. (24px is fine, however.) The URL for the 23px image is http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/09/Flag_of_South_Korea.svg/23px-Flag_of_South_Korea.svg.png. I tried downloading this using Wget. The web server responded with the HTTP status code "200 OK", but the content of the file I downloaded is the following HTML page:

404 Not Found 404 Not Found The resource could not be found.

Purging the image page either here or on Commons does not seem to make any difference. I get the same thing whether logged in or not. I even tried accessing the page using a different ISP, and still got the same problem. – PartTimeGnome (talk&#160;&#124; contribs) 22:42, 16 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I get the same result using curl as PartTimeGnome. I also see the same issue for Romania, but not for most other countries including ones that have been edited recently. Some resolutions work fine, but 22 and 23 and 25 are consistently broken. I thought there might be a minimum working size but for example 24 works fine and 25 does not.

 * OK, this is already being tracked as https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=40980. No info about a resolution, though. Willhsmit (talk) 00:55, 17 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I think the flags of Chile, Paraguay, Romania, and South Korea, and others I did not mention (using small sizes) were suddenly hacked or bugged by malware problem. That's what I was thinking of. I don't know why. Raymarcbadz (talk) 02:49, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

ROKA/ROKMC variants

Edit request 7 February 2023
The naval jack and the flag of the navy currently being used in the template is wrong and different from the actual design. This problem has long been unrecognized and the wrong flag has been used continuously in Wikipedia. This must now be corrected. Therefore, it is necessary to change the wrong flag(File:Naval jack of South Korea.svg) to the correct flag(File:Flag of the Republic of Korea Navy.svg).
