Many, though not all, instances of the {{ Infobox country}} template include a link to an audio ( ogg format) file for the country's national anthem. See the infobox at United States of America for one of many examples.
The national anthem audio links are not supported as a separate, dedicated item in the infobox template; rather, they are appended to the national_anthem field, typically something like this:
national_anthem = "[[The Star-Spangled Banner]]"<br /><center>[[File:Star Spangled Banner instrumental.ogg]]</center>
Some editors have objected to the inclusion of these audio links, or to the addition of such links in country infoboxes where they do not already exist. See, for example, this archived discussion from 2012, as well as this currently ongoing discussion concerning whether or not to add an audio link to the infobox for Georgia.
Should country infoboxes contain, where possible, a link to an audio file for the country's national anthem? And if not, should existing national anthem audio links in country infoboxes be removed? — Rich wales (no relation to Jimbo) 21:55, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Take a look at early June 2014 edits for Turkey to see what happens when a template offers "too many" parameters. They get used, and misused. Parameters should be limited to the essentials, and not include all possibilities. A short guide for the interested reader. Not "everything!" Student7 ( talk) 12:54, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

In the current template, the inclusion of the caption for the flag image depends on whether the parameters {{{common_name}}}
, {{{linking_name}}}
and {{{name}}}
are defined:
{{#if:{{{common_name|}}}{{{linking_name|}}}{{{name|}}}
| <td align="center" style="font-size:85%;">{{#ifexist:Flag of {{{linking_name|{{{common_name|{{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}} |[[Flag of {{{linking_name|{{{common_name|{{{name|{{PAGENAME}}}}}}}}}}} | {{{flag_caption|Flag}}}]] |Flag }}</td>
}}
This results in an omitted flag caption and a misplaced emblem caption if none of the name parameters are defined, even if there is a flag image. This was noticed at Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.
I have changed the sandbox to display the flag caption if and only if there is a flag image ( diff). This doesn't change anything if there is a coat of arms but no flag ( example; no caption is displayed for the emblem, but that's a different issue), or if there is a flag but no coat of arms. I'll put this change live if nobody minds. SiBr4 ( talk) 19:10, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

Flag of does not exist, the removal of the #if function will not cause wrong links even if a name parameter is set to a null value.Update the colors to the new parameters of the year 2013 proposed by the United Nations Development Programme.
For example: Colombia has a high human development for the United Nations Development Programme, but according to wikipedia has medium human development, that is incorrect, it is necessary to correct these errors.

CLIMAX! 03:00, 25 August 2014 (UTC)I was asked to return here... Currently, both these template refer to simply as "Government" when the parameter refers to "government_type".. While its not a problem with liberal democratic states, its a major problem when referring to dictatorships and communist states in general. While the United States is correctly referred to as a "Federal presidential constitutional republic", former (and present socialist states) are referred to as ( such as the USSR) "Marxist–Leninist single-party state" or in other cases as "Marxist–Leninist single-party socialist state", Juche single-party state or "Single-party socialist state"... First Marxism-Leninism and Juche is an ideology, and while it can be generalized, and states can be called Marxist-Leninist states or Juche states there never existed a form of government which was Marxist-Leninist or Juche. The socialist political system was conceived by Lenin, but its evolution has by both communists and non-communists alike been referred to as the socialist system. Since this form of government (in every case that I know since post-1923) was based upon both Marxism-Leninism and a single-party system, calling them "Marxist-Leninist single-party socialist state" is really saying the same thing three times. To quote a more articulated user;
I am no expert; however, from the little I do know, that statement gives two, main important pieces of this puzzle. Those are Marxist–Leninist and socialist state. Just a scan of those two articles can lead to truth here. The former describes an ideology, not a type of government, although forms of government may be based upon that ideology. The latter, "socialist state", describes a type/form of government that may be based upon an ideology. Ideologies and types of governments are two different things, aren't they? It would seem that no matter how many sources one may provide, it is how those sources are interpreted that applies here. And they should be interpreted by use of the definitions of "ideology" and "type of government". When a source refers to a country as "Marxist–Leninist", the source refers to the ideology, not to the type of government. I could be wrong, but it strongly appears that when the ibox parameter is "government_type", this country's entry should be "socialist state".
Adding the ideological nature of the political system is not the point of government_type parameter, its task it to mention the form of government. But before I began editing it, that was not the case. For instance Democratic Kampuchea was referred to, in the infobox government parameter, as a "Agrarian socialist totalitarian single-party state". Yes, ideologically they may have been agrarian socialists, and they may have been totalitarian and they may have been a single-party state, but none of those terms actually answer the question; what form of government did Democratic Kampuchea have. The answer is a socialist system; therefore it should say Socialist state/republic (and just that). Since "Socialist state/republic" implies by definition a single-party state there is no need to mention it at all (similar we don't need to add the word "Democratic" to "Federal presidential constitutional republic" even it would spell out clearer then what it already does that the US is democratic).. Of course, this is not only a problem in communist articles, look at Nazi Germany; its referred to as a "Nazi single-party state. Totalitarian dictatorship". First, totalitarianism has no reason to be there; the infobox asks for "government_type" and not the political concept used to categorize the worst dictatorships. I don't know if "Nazi single-party state" is apt, as far as I know the Nazis never theorized on what political system a Nazi world would have. Of course I could be wrong. To make sure this doesn't happen again (and too stop edit wars over it), I propose of replacing the word Government in both infoboxes with either a "Form of government", b "Political system", c "System of governance" or d "Type of government" or e "Political structure". I am personally inclined to a or d. -- TIAYN ( talk) 09:44, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

I note that in the archives it discusses whether to have Religion replaced by "Official Religion" or "State Religion" and possibly plural in countries with more than one official religion (or we should drop the whole thing, btw some countries have a lot of official religions but only one state religion [e.g., Iceland where many denomination are registered and receive tax revenue but only one state church]). Another question has to do in the case of an established religion whether one uses the denomination name (e.g., Church of England) or the 'ism' form (e.g., Anglicanism). I'm inclined to use the official name since the 'ism' form might be applied to more than the official religion (i.e., in Iceland the state church is the Evangelical Lutheran Church but 'Evangelical Lutheranism' may well apply also to two free churches that broke away from state church).

Is it possible to edit the template in such a way, that instead of displaying "etnic groups" in the infobox, it displays something else? For example some countries count citizeship or races instead of ethnic groups: Greece, Germany and the Netherlands give figures for citizenship rather than ethnic groups when the UK gives racial figures instead of ethnic groups.

This template should include a section providing information about residential voltage (230V 50Hz/ 110V 60 Hz etc.) Chinese Wikipedia already include it. Genhuan ( talk) 03:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
While maybe almost a hundred of countries do have more than one official language, the remaining hundred or so do not (i.e, each one of them has only one official language). The current template here, though, is "official languages", always in plural, but it doesn't make much sense for countries like Germany ("official languages: German"), Mexico ("official languages: Spanish"), and well, Japan, Brazil and about a hundred others. Couldn't it be easily fixed by simply putting the final "s" in "languages" between parentheses? Making it "official language(s)" instead of "official languages"?

As a historian, one feature I really like about the template for historical countries/empires is the flag links in the infobox to previous and following countries/empires overlapping the land of the country/empire in question.

The article for Sweden includes a "state and civil flag" in the infobox captioned simply as "Flag" with a wikilink to Flag of Sweden, which is fine. However, further down, the infobox has a footnote:
^ Above the civil and state flag. Here the naval flag:

However, the footnote symbol was not linked to anywhere. The flag caption should have a footnote link to it (similar to the corresponding footnote for the coat of arms), like so:
I tried several options utilising the undocumented flag_caption
parameter before
I finally figured out how to do it:
| flag_caption = Flag{{ref label|aaa|a}}
→ [[Flag of Sweden | Flag
[a]]]| flag_caption = Flag]]{{ref label|aaa|a}}
→
Flag
[a]]]| flag_caption = Flag]]{{ref label|aaa|a}}<span style="display:none">

Some countries, like Sri Lanka has two capitals. Please add,

{{Infobox country|capital=capital|capital2=capital2|admin_center=admin_center|largest_city=largest_city|largest_settlement=largest_settlement}}
currently only displays capital and largest city. and, for some reason, the labels are not entirely correct.

Is it possible to edit the template in such a way, that instead of displaying "etnic groups" in the infobox, it displays something else? For example some countries count citizeship or races instead of ethnic groups: Greece, Germany and the Netherlands give figures for citizenship rather than ethnic groups when the UK gives racial figures instead of ethnic groups.

Per
WP:ACCESS#Text, the minimum font size to be used is 11 px. The footnotes font size is 9 px. Therefore, I suggest that all instances of font-size: xx-small
be changed to 90%
, which computes to 11-point-zero-something pixels.

Something in the infobox on Republic of Ireland is causing '<tr class="mergedbottomrow">' to appear at the top of the article (on the left). It's a very long infobox so I cannot see what could be doing it. Could somebody who understands these things take a look, please? 86.41.35.110 ( talk) 10:48, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
This template should include a section providing information about residential voltage (230V 50Hz/ 110V 60 Hz etc.) Chinese Wikipedia already include it. Genhuan ( talk) 03:06, 23 February 2015 (UTC)
While maybe almost a hundred of countries do have more than one official language, the remaining hundred or so do not (i.e, each one of them has only one official language). The current template here, though, is "official languages", always in plural, but it doesn't make much sense for countries like Germany ("official languages: German"), Mexico ("official languages: Spanish"), and well, Japan, Brazil and about a hundred others. Couldn't it be easily fixed by simply putting the final "s" in "languages" between parentheses? Making it "official language(s)" instead of "official languages"?

As a historian, one feature I really like about the template for historical countries/empires is the flag links in the infobox to previous and following countries/empires overlapping the land of the country/empire in question. I find it really annoying that this isn't done for modern/currently existing countries too. Maybe we should be adding these to currently existing countries too?

When I added data to the the field "nationalities" in Svalbard, it didn't show up. It doesn't seem to exist in the source code. Can someone with editing privileges fix it? It should be of the same layout as the field "ethnic_groups". - Anonimski ( talk) 14:59, 23 March 2015 (UTC) Anonimski ( talk) 14:59, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, is there any way to force a parameter not to be wikilinked? I'm trying to remove the link from the demonym parameter on Republic of the Congo. It's currently pointing to a dab page, which it shouldn't. And there isn't a specific article for the people of Congo-Brazzaville as well, it should simply be unlinked. Thanks, -- Midas02 ( talk) 16:13, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Can the borders and/or size of image_map and image_map2 be made the same? Right now the first one is 250 px and the second is 280 for some reason. Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:33, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
The article for Sweden includes a "state and civil flag" in the infobox captioned simply as "Flag" with a wikilink to Flag of Sweden, which is fine. However, further down, the infobox has a footnote:
^ Above the civil and state flag. Here the naval flag:
|
However, the footnote symbol was not linked to anywhere. The flag caption should have a footnote link to it (similar to the corresponding footnote for the coat of arms), like so:
I tried several options utilising the undocumented flag_caption
parameter before
I finally figured out how to do it:
| flag_caption = Flag{{ref label|aaa|a}}
→ [[Flag of Sweden | Flag
[a]]]| flag_caption = Flag]]{{ref label|aaa|a}}
→
Flag
[a]]]| flag_caption = Flag]]{{ref label|aaa|a}}<span style="display:none">
→
Flag
[a]This is a workaround to break the wikilink automatically created by the template and stop the errant ]]
wikicode inserted by the template from showing in the infobox. Is there a neater way to fix this? —

Please make the text "Drives on the" be a link to Right- and left-hand traffic. This would be clearer and more consistent than some countries making "right" or "left" link to that page.

TALKPer /info/en/?search=Template_talk:Infobox_country/Archive_9#Explanation, it still seems ridiculous that there are 14 countries labeled "low", 105 labeled "medium", and 34 labeled "high". Medium seems far too large with no basis in literature or common sense. Scott Illini ( talk) 06:07, 28 July 2015 (UTC)
