White flag[edit]
Is there any particular reason that (flagicon|white) links to the main page? Surely it should link to White flag? A7V2 (talk) 00:23, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- The base template is {{Country data Example}}, which implies that using a white flag should be for example purposes and not article use. {{flagg|uxx|blank}} might be better, as it shows as well without being linked. I don't really have any opinions on whether the behaviour being described is a good one necessarily, so do not take my suggestion as saying we should leave everything as-is (I am rather apathetic on that count). Once again, though, I am reminded that this entire system is ridiculous and we need a better one (which I am working on, just... slowly). Primefac (talk) 10:51, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
IRE and IRL[edit]
Two different codes for one flag? Was there suppose to be a difference between these two? Govvy (talk) 11:37, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- No, just different organisations with different codes. I believe the technical backend is meant to distinguish the country from the island, but I am not sure (outside of sports) if anyone actually does that. Primefac (talk) 11:38, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
Fatah[edit]
How does this work and why is it not working for Fatah or anything connected to them? Most other newsworthy Palestinian factions seem to work - e.g. - but not tree biggest. Does it pull a flag off the wiki page for a thing? Or is there a separate database? Does the flag on the page need to be a particular file format or size? Irtapil (talk) 13:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Same question asked and answered at Template talk:Flag § Fatah. Primefac (talk) 14:31, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
