[edit] Easier Country Links

Can we use the codes to link to the country home page?

For example, make the following two links equivalent in wikipedia:

Please let me know, otherwise I'll just go ahead and do it. This will make my application (linking to wikipedia) much more reliable.

[edit] Historical codes

what about former codes? where is DDR (East Germany) ? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 00:22, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

A good question. I'll start a section with some of them. (SEWilco 03:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Serbia & Montenegro?

Where are the codes for the two new countries, Serbia and Montenegro?? kalaha 10:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Nowhere, as the ISO has not yet made them public. —Nightstallion (?) 22:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
That's sounds strange, but I'm sure that's it's correct. kalaha 15:58, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Why does it sound strange? ISO defines the codes, and as ISO has not yet made a decision public regarding Serbia and Montenegro, there's no code as of today. —Nightstallion (?) 09:45, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Is there an external reference for this? I would expect ISO to have published this somewhere, but I'm unable to find anything but the two-letter codes on their official home page --80.199.77.38 06:27, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean? They haven't published the codes yet, so what do you expect to find? There's an entry in the FAQ, though. http://www.iso.org/iso/en/prods-services/iso3166ma/10faq/frequently-asked-questions.html#QS01 —Nightstallion (?) 19:53, 5 August 2006 (UTC)


They are now - SRB and MNE =) doktorb wordsdeeds 09:06, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. Incidentally, ISO 4217 still hasn't been updated officially to change CSD to RSD... ::sighs:: —Nightstallion (?) 16:39, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
