@ Tol: Just wondering why a "show all" and "collapse all" link is needed? The full content is accessible in both states with the only difference being the added max height restriction and vertical scrollbar, similar to the behavior of a browser window. As for printing, a media query is sufficient to print the full table. Jroberson108 ( talk) 16:55, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
Does anyone else see a need for these links? Jroberson108 ( talk) 15:26, 12 January 2022 (UTC)

I saw a version of this template in Russian Wikipedia and thought that the code it uses is too hacky. There is no need to use inaccessible CSS-based toggles when a standard library for creating collapsible elements exists, and is widely used across Wikipedia. For the demo of how it would look using simpler markup, see current version of the sandbox of this template. It might need some tweaking, but in my opinion it is a far simpler, accessible, and maintainable implementation of the same concept. (The only problem is the toggle not working in no-JS environment, but I think it’s a progressive enhancement anyway.) stjn 21:47, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Also, you should consider the fact that the current version of the table is linking to every country article twice for screen reader users (something like ‘European Union link European Union link’ for every row). If it is possible, the flags should be either removed according to WP:DECOR, or at least have no link in them (neither to countries nor to files). stjn 21:52, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

I realize that this template is only semi-protected, but I am getting a Wikimedia\Rdbms\DBQueryDisconnectedError
when I try to sync the template with its sandbox. (The changes remove the padlock template which is handled by {{
documentation}} and implement
Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2022 July 4#Template:Import-blanktable.) I have tried disabling both my Wikipedia JS/CSS as well as browser extensions, clearing my cache, restarting my computer, logging out and back in, etc. I also tried just making a
WP:DUMMY edit; that also failed. I just want to get a someone else to confirm there is indeed a bug preventing editors in general from editing the template before I bother the folks over at phab with a bug report.
Because people who watch Category:Wikipedia semi-protected edit requests are probably not looking to fix templates, I have filed this as a template editor request.
(Reading this over I feel I should clarify that I am requesting that the template be synced with its sandbox.) House Blaster talk 06:01, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
