Template talk:Country showdata

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, there seems to be a problem with this; the flag doesn't show up in any of the relevant articles! Can this be resolved?

[edit] Wrong year

Could someone correct the year? It wasn't 1910, but 1905. --PaxEquilibrium 20:29, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Huh? What are you referring to? Andrwsc 20:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nationality

Is it possible to have the flag and nationality appear instead of the country name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mistman123 (talk • contribs) 21:42, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't think this template talk page is relevant for your request. As it says quite clearly, this template is used to internally document the country data templates within the flag template system. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 21:56, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] protection templates

This automatically includes a protection template when it is used but there are atleast 50 cases where it is used and the template is not actually protected. Could we just remove the template and it could be added back to pages that actually are protected? -- maelgwn - talk 22:09, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, there are about a thousand templates that are protected, so it is significantly easier to make it the default case for now. I am working on a system where each template can check it's own status and put up the protection template only if necessary, so if you don't mind waiting a week or two, that should be in place. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 01:46, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
Ok great, i didnt know that was possible. The other possibility would be to make it an option, that defaults to yes and then I can get my bot to go through and change the unprotected ones. -- maelgwn - talk 04:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Option: no border

Would it be possible to add a "no-border" option? For example, Flag of Nepal Nepal looks pretty silly with the border around the flag. While there are very few cases where a border should not be used, it would be worthwhile. - 52 Pickup (deal) 06:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

This is the talk page for the documentation template. It has nothing to do with the border rendering. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 08:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Fine. So where is the right place to ask? If these templates weren't so nested I'd make the changes myself. 52 Pickup (deal) 09:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
The introductory text of the documentation for this template says:
See Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template for the main documentation and discussion page for the flag template system.
and the introductory text of the documentation for every country data template says:
For a more thorough discussion of the flag template system, including parameters not described here, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template.
Sorry for being curt, but I had spent a lot of time on flag template documentation and I thought it was fairly obvious. I guess not. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 17:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Done. Sorry about that, but I do a lot of work with templates and in other cases in the past I had only gotten the response I was looking for when going through the template code to the necessary level. So going on past experience, I overlooked your notices. 52 Pickup (deal) 06:08, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
