Can the contents be updated to

to support Poland, Hungary & Italy. Thanks -- WOSlinker (talk) 21:59, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I am struggling to see the purpose of

Surely that will always return "no"? &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 22:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm guessing that's just there for future expansion. Or possibly just because it was originally based on Infobox road/USAtest which has two switch statements as well. -- WOSlinker (talk) 22:21, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * (ec) That's there in the event we need to add states for Europe, which User:Imzadi1979 has said will need to be done eventually. The switch could be readded later, but IMO it's easier this way as all that will need to be done is add lines to the switch. –  T M F 22:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * As for the request, ✅. Italy was already supported; its ISO code was the second one in the switch. –  T M F 22:24, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Ontario can't use the regions parameter
Add CAN to the list of countries, so that Ontario can use this parameter without causing an error. Non-controversial addition. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  01:11, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there an actual subdivision of the province called a "region"?  Imzadi 1979  →   02:17, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Technically they're "regional municipalities", but the common names are Region of X. Niagara, York and Durham are a few examples. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  02:39, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * What is the collective name for the top order subdivision of the Province of Ontario? That's the classification that Ontario articles should be using. By using too many names, all utility of that section of the infobox is lost.  Imzadi 1979  →   02:50, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Agreed, plus they don't like to work together. There is no official term, but Wikipedia seems to be using "Division", and that would work best with the junction list having the same thing. -  ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ  τ ¢  10:43, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
 * De-activated the edit-protected request, please provide a specific instructions about what you want changed ie Please change X to Y. Also, please provide evidence of consensus for the change, Thanks, Woody (talk) 21:27, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
 * The consensus is that its broken right now. Do I need to start a discussion to have people say "yep, thats not working", or would me simply informing you of that be enough to get past the bouncer? This is locked to prevent vandalism, not to prevent minor adjustments to make a parameter work correctly.

Spanish regions?
This temple is currently supporting the "ESP" parameter for Spain, while Spain is not made up of regions, but of "Autonomous Communities" (Comunidades Autónomas in Spanish). These terms should not be confused since this can offend some of the "nationalities" of Spain such as Catalonia, the Basque Country or Galicia, which are protected by the Spanish Consitution thanks to the "autonomous communities". The ACs are not "regions" at all and have more competences than many federal states of several federations around the world. A new template for the "Autonomous Comunities" should be created while the "ESP" parameter should be removed from this template. Mllturro (talk) 15:48, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
