I think the template should display international membership info in one shape or form. When I look at an infobox I should be able to learn the UN affiliation, EU affiliation, NATO affiliation, WTO affiliation, Commonwealth affiliation, etc of the country. This information can be adapted from the existing Membership templates. I am unsure if it is necessary to display the affiliation date or just display the affiliation status. There currently is some content for EU but it doesn't for example show the membership as an entry while implying it. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 13:33, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if this has been proposed before and rejected for whatever reason, but I propose that there should be an additional parameter used to change the size of a coat of arms (e.g. |symbol_size=). Similar to the images on biographies and the map on this template.
Most emblems/synmbols/coat of arms are quite small and they fit neatly next to the flag, but this isn't always the case.On some articles, like Denmark, Abkhazia, Hungary, India and even, to a lesser extent, Germany, the coat of arms is tall and so due to formatting it appears much larger than the flag. This doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, especially if the infobox is already quite large.
I think this option would have to be used sparingly as most infoboxes have the right size, but it would be a great help and it would allow some countries, like Belgium, to use the more common "lesser arms" rather than the larger arms, which they were forced to use. -- Peter Talk page 19:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

13:22, 18 July 2012 (UTC)Because the iso3166code param is wrapped in a wikilink by the template, it seems it is not possible to add a reference/note after it. I propose adding:
-->{{{iso3166note|}}}<!--
to the end of the "ISO 3166 code" section of the template. I'm willing to document this and any other changes I suggest. —[ AlanM1 ( talk)]— 16:25, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
The area_magnitude param is in the documentation (without description, though), but not referenced in the template, AFAICT. Most countries seem to have this param with a value of "1 En"
, seeming referring to
Orders of magnitude (area) ("1En"
non-spaced seems more correct, though WP:MOSNUM does not even mention this format), though
Singapore has "1_E8"

As per the discussion on the New Caledonia talkpage, I'd like to add an optional argument to this template to allow for entities with two flags to have both displayed in the infobox. I've made the changes to the sandbox (see the diff) and the test cases seem to be still behaving properly. See the discussion on the New Caledonia talk page for a demo of the new code in action.

The latd

and other coordinate parameters are defined as the coordinates of the capital. However, this template uses type:country
in the (two) {{
coord}} templates. Since the coordinates are about a city, both occurences should be replaced with type:city

template. The infobox is for a country not a city. I believe that the documentation is wrong by stating "capital city"; many capital cities are coastal, including London, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Belfast and Dublin, but I think that the coordinates should be some reasonably central location. --

I'd like to make a suggestion (before I make an edit request, and I do hope this talk page is being watched) to do the same with utc_offset_DST
as has been done with utc_offset
: to put the offset within a {{
nowrap}} and to remove the
preceding it. This would prevent offsets to be wrapped for countries that have more than one time zone (and would be consistent with utc_offset
, and would make the use of <br/>
behind time_zone_DST
unnecessary).

Currently <small> is being placed directly between the <tr> and <td> tags: "<tr><small><td>". This is invalid HTML, as a <tr> should only have <td>s or <th>s as children. HTML Tidy is fixing this by moving each <small> element inside each of the <td> elements ("<tr><td><small>"), but it seems unclean.
Instead of creating transient invalid HTML, can we implement <small> by adding "style=font-size:xx-small" to each of the <tr>s (or the <td>s)? Specifically,
old: <tr><small> new: <tr style="font-size:xx-small">
Also, using a css style/class attribute for presentation logic seems cleaner than using the <small> element.
I provide the recommended change below. (modified from the 2012-08-24 source)

In the use of this template in United States, the "Summer (DST)" item is indented by a non-breaking space from the "Time Zone" item above it. I believe the problem is here:

Since numbers are standard for refs within an article, I've added footnote_a, footnote_b, ..., footnote_h to the version in the template sandbox as alternatives to the numbered footnotes already offered. The code added is simply an amended copy of the code for the numbered footnotes. I've done some testing using amended versions of a couple of the examples provided in the testcases area and all seems well. If this edit is accepted, I'll revisit those pages where I've seen lettered footnotes in use and update accordingly.

10:56, 10 November 2012 (UTC)Hello again. Thanks for the support. If this is to go through, though, I need some assistance fixing a quirk. If you look at the first footnote (footnote_a) on the sandbox page, you'll see the "a." identifying it is riding high. I don't seem to be able to correct this and suspect it's something to do with a (missing) class setting. Help, please? 213.246.91.158 ( talk) 06:38, 17 November 2012 (UTC)
just had a quick look - as someone mentioned a footnote a "riding high" - wasn't sure what it meant exactly but if you look in the code (which I can't edit due to not being admin) you will see that this
--><tr style="font-size:xx-small" class="{{#if:{{{footnote2|}}} |<!--then:-->mergedrow |<!--else:-->mergedbottomrow}}">
seems to be missing from the footnote1 line below (or at least that's what I infer from the rest of the footnote section code). EdwardLane ( talk) 10:15, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, EdwardL and DePiep, for your efforts. I've just refreshed the testcases page and the sandbox2 version looks pretty good here too – although I've now noticed that it and the current live template appear to indent all the footnote examples. (Maybe that's because there are only footnotes in the custom challenges.) But I'll happily take consistent indents over misalignments. I'll take a look at sandbox2 now and try transferring the code to the original sandbox version; then, if that's worked, ask for the live template to be updated accordingly. 213.246.91.158 ( talk) 17:00, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
...It looks like your approach works, DePiep. Thank you. I hadn't noticed the "lower-the-superscript" used by the numbered footnotes, but if that's what works, then I'll go with it. Curious. 213.246.91.158 ( talk) 17:54, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

While starting the above, I've noticed that some of the label positioning in the languages section of the template ("Official languages" etc) isn't consistent with the rest of the template and that the "Ethnic groups" label can wrap awkwardly if/when it's suffixed by ethnic_groups_year. The present version of the template in the sandbox (28 November, edit summary "...I see why vertical-aligns best for the longer language labels", [1]) should iron out these wrinkles. 213.246.94.204 ( talk) 10:32, 28 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello again. While working through some of the articles using this template, it occurred to me that some code to automate the display of the HDI and Gini indicies in the template might be worthwhile, i.e. to remove the need for (relatively complex) entries such as:
|HDI_category = <span style="color:#090;white-space:nowrap;">very high</span>
Anyone else agree? If so, I could have a go at implementing it -- or maybe this hasn't been done for a reason I've yet to realize..? 213.246.94.204 ( talk) 21:30, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

To avoid the kind of formatting change between sections shown here (see the Internet TLD – Website – Calling code sequence toward the bottom of the template), this sandbox version of the template [2] (03:32, 5 December 2012 213.246.94.204 (talk) . . (50,423 bytes) (-1)) has the calling code and subsequent patron saint sections moved above the ISO 3166 section. May it be used to update the live version of the template, please? 213.246.94.204 ( talk) 03:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello again. As noted above, two of the more complicated entries for this template can be the Gini and HDI data. Their categorization (low, medium, high, very high) is also unregulated by the current version of the template. So, the current version of the sandbox template here (edit summary: (reduced Gini/HDI_category and Gini/HDI_rank text size)) now includes some code in the Gini and HDI sections to achieve this. (For the sake of continuity, it doesn't replace the current system but complements it.)
In addition, I've noticed that the HDI entry can produce one of the longest unwrapped lines on the righthand side of the template (e.g. " 0.698[10] (medium) (96th)" in Algeria), so I've reduced the size of the category label and any ranking (HDI_rank) supplied and combined their parentheses. (In the case of Algeria, this would become " 0.698[10] (medium / 96th)"; compare the testcase examples here (scroll down to reach the Gini/HDI entries).)
Lastly, I've stripped the template's code of nearly all the "then" and "else" comments and, in compensation, reformatted it a little so that anyone aware of the basic {{#if : |... |...}}
structure should still be able to follow it fairly easily.
So, if all that seems in order, the edit request is:
There should be no visible impact on the articles using the template (see testcases page), but, if/when the edit is made, I'll then start converting the templates in those articles to use the new, more automated code.
Hope I've covered everything. 213.246.94.204 ( talk) 06:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

The infobox for Trinidad and Tobago lists Chaguanas as the largest town. That might be true, but as I read the infobox conventions, largest town should only be included if there are no cities.

Virtually all instances of this template now supply the parameters for the recently-streamlined Gini and HDI handling. This sandbox version of the template now assumes this handling is the norm and places each Gini/HDI [category · rank] pairing on its own line back at a more readable 100% font-size. The seemingly unreliable Gini evaluation noted above should now work correctly. The category colo/urs have also been tweaked slightly (to become named web colo/urs) and should now appear a little more distinct against a white background. So, if all looks in order, please update the live version of the template accordingly. 213.246.82.207 ( talk) 08:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)

There is a version in the sandbox that updates a country list link, removes the extra space before a footnote number (see section above), and allows space breaks, instead of non-breaking spaces in a few spots where it was pulling the footnote number down to the next line.

Categories for Human Development Index (HDI) had some changes now in the new 2013 Human Development Report, and it should be corrected to current values, because countries like Uruguay and Belarus appears to be countries with "very high HDI" when actually they are just "high HDI" countries; same with Jordan that appears as "high HDI" country (when is a "medium HDI" country) or Congo (it appears as "medium HDI" country and it is a "low HDI" country).

I see no criteria given for the current Gini index categories. I propose using the same criteria used by the Human Development Report for its HDI rankings. The four HDI categories represent each a group of 25% of countries on the list. The top 25% of countries are categorized as "very high", the next 25% as "high", the next 25% as "medium" and the bottom 25% as "low".
According to the World Bank, there are 157 countries with a known Gini index. From lowest to highest, they range from Denmark (24.70) to Seychelles (65.77). If we follow the same criteria used above, these thresholds should be:

In some cases the rank wraps alone (look in "total GDP" here or in "total area" here).

An editor opened a SPER on North Korea because the infobox indicates "high" even though the HDI rank is 157. Korea was not included in the more recent rankings and the number they received in 2009, 0.733, would be in the range of "high" is they received it in 2013. I think the template needs to test HDI year and not indicate "high" if the number is from a previous year.

I think the template should display international membership info in one shape or form. When I look at an infobox I should be able to learn the UN affiliation, EU affiliation, NATO affiliation, WTO affiliation, Commonwealth affiliation, etc of the country. This information can be adapted from the existing Membership templates. I am unsure if it is necessary to display the affiliation date or just display the affiliation status. There currently is some content for EU but it doesn't for example show the membership as an entry while implying it. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 13:33, 2 June 2012 (UTC)
I don't know if this has been proposed before and rejected for whatever reason, but I propose that there should be an additional parameter used to change the size of a coat of arms (e.g. |symbol_size=). Similar to the images on biographies and the map on this template.
Most emblems/synmbols/coat of arms are quite small and they fit neatly next to the flag, but this isn't always the case.On some articles, like Denmark, Abkhazia, Hungary, India and even, to a lesser extent, Germany, the coat of arms is tall and so due to formatting it appears much larger than the flag. This doesn't look aesthetically pleasing, especially if the infobox is already quite large.
I think this option would have to be used sparingly as most infoboxes have the right size, but it would be a great help and it would allow some countries, like Belgium, to use the more common "lesser arms" rather than the larger arms, which they were forced to use. -- Peter Talk page 19:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

I'd like to make a suggestion (before I make an edit request, and I do hope this talk page is being watched) to do the same with utc_offset_DST
as has been done with utc_offset
: to put the offset within a {{

preceding it. This would prevent offsets to be wrapped for countries that have more than one time zone (and would be consistent with utc_offset

unnecessary).

Currently <small> is being placed directly between the <tr> and <td> tags: "<tr><small><td>". This is invalid HTML, as a <tr> should only have <td>s or <th>s as children. HTML Tidy is fixing this by moving each <small> element inside each of the <td> elements ("<tr><td><small>"), but it seems unclean.
Instead of creating transient invalid HTML, can we implement <small> by adding "style=font-size:xx-small" to each of the <tr>s (or the <td>s)? Specifically,
old: <tr><small> new: <tr style="font-size:xx-small">
Also, using a css style/class attribute for presentation logic seems cleaner than using the <small> element.

Since numbers are standard for refs within an article, I've added footnote_a, footnote_b, ..., footnote_h to the version in the template sandbox as alternatives to the numbered footnotes already offered. The code added is simply an amended copy of the code for the numbered footnotes.

Thanks, EdwardL and DePiep, for your efforts. I've just refreshed the testcases page and the sandbox2 version looks pretty good here too – although I've now noticed that it and the current live template appear to indent all the footnote examples. (Maybe that's because there are only footnotes in the custom challenges.) But I'll happily take consistent indents over misalignments.

Hello again. While working through some of the articles using this template, it occurred to me that some code to automate the display of the HDI and Gini indicies in the template might be worthwhile, i.e. to remove the need for (relatively complex) entries such as:

To avoid the kind of formatting change between sections shown here (see the Internet TLD – Website – Calling code sequence toward the bottom of the template), this sandbox version of the template [2] (03:32, 5 December 2012 213.246.94.204 (talk) . . (50,423 bytes) (-1)) has the calling code and subsequent patron saint sections moved above the ISO 3166 section. May it be used to update the live version of the template, please? 213.246.94.204 ( talk) 03:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello again. As noted above, two of the more complicated entries for this template can be the Gini and HDI data. Their categorization (low, medium, high, very high) is also unregulated by the current version of the template. So, the current version of the sandbox template here (edit summary: (reduced Gini/HDI_category and Gini/HDI_rank text size)) now includes some code in the Gini and HDI sections to achieve this. (For the sake of continuity, it doesn't replace the current system but complements it.)
In addition, I've noticed that the HDI entry can produce one of the longest unwrapped lines on the righthand side of the template (e.g. " 0.698[10] (medium) (96th)" in Algeria), so I've reduced the size of the category label and any ranking (HDI_rank) supplied and combined their parentheses. (In the case of Algeria, this would become " 0.698[10] (medium / 96th)"; compare the testcase examples here (scroll down to reach the Gini/HDI entries).)
Lastly, I've stripped the template's code of nearly all the "then" and "else" comments and, in compensation, reformatted it a little so that anyone aware of the basic {{#if : |... |...}}
structure should still be able to follow it fairly easily.
So, if all that seems in order, the edit request is:
There should be no visible impact on the articles using the template (see testcases page), but, if/when the edit is made, I'll then start converting the templates in those articles to use the new, more automated code.
Hope I've covered everything. 213.246.94.204 ( talk) 06:16, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Virtually all instances of this template now supply the parameters for the recently-streamlined Gini and HDI handling. This sandbox version of the template now assumes this handling is the norm and places each Gini/HDI [category · rank] pairing on its own line back at a more readable 100% font-size. The seemingly unreliable Gini evaluation noted above should now work correctly. The category colo/urs have also been tweaked slightly (to become named web colo/urs) and should now appear a little more distinct against a white background. So, if all looks in order, please update the live version of the template accordingly. 213.246.82.207 ( talk) 08:16, 18 February 2013 (UTC)
Area footnotes are being rendered with a preceding space. Can this be fixed?

There is a version in the sandbox that updates a country list link, removes the extra space before a footnote number (see section above), and allows space breaks, instead of non-breaking spaces in a few spots where it was pulling the footnote number down to the next line. Hopefully, someone can update this template? Thanks -- Funandtrvl ( talk) 00:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Categories for Human Development Index (HDI) had some changes now in the new 2013 Human Development Report, and it should be corrected to current values, because countries like Uruguay and Belarus appears to be countries with "very high HDI" when actually they are just "high HDI" countries; same with Jordan that appears as "high HDI" country (when is a "medium HDI" country) or Congo (it appears as "medium HDI" country and it is a "low HDI" country).
Very high development index >0.789 0.801
High development index >0.699 0.711
Medium development index >0.519 0.535/Low development index <0.519 0.535

I see no criteria given for the current Gini index categories. I propose using the same criteria used by the Human Development Report for its HDI rankings. The four HDI categories represent each a group of 25% of countries on the list. The top 25% of countries are categorized as "very high", the next 25% as "high", the next 25% as "medium" and the bottom 25% as "low".
According to the World Bank, there are 157 countries with a known Gini index. From lowest to highest, they range from Denmark (24.70) to Seychelles (65.77). If we follow the same criteria used above, these thresholds should be:

In some cases the rank wraps alone (look in "total GDP" here or in "total area" here).
It looks bad. In the case where the affected rows are meant to be short (e.g. GDP, population density, area, etc) the whole line could be defined with a "white-space:nowrap" style to fix this. Windroff ( talk) 01:54, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

An editor opened a SPER on North Korea because the infobox indicates "high" even though the HDI rank is 157. Korea was not included in the more recent rankings and the number they received in 2009, 0.733, would be in the range of "high" is they received it in 2013. I think the template needs to test HDI year and not indicate "high" if the number is from a previous year. I can look at it and open an edit request with a requested change, but I'm hoping a more capable editor will step in before I do. :) Thanks, Celestra ( talk) 04:00, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Discussed before, but to formalise, can we change the current "Religion" field to "Official religion"/"State religion" or something similar? This would be more useful than a regurgitation of percentages. CMD ( talk) 17:21, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Please add a parameter that turns off the 1px border that surrounds country flags (e.g. "flag_border=no" or the like). For example, Nepal's flag in its infobox has a border around it, when it is not shaped like a quadrilateral. Illegitimate Barrister ( talk) 18:16, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Clicking on the "show" link of the "Country or territory" subsection of the "Examples" section leads to an image of a person playing with a penis. This is clearly pornographic vandalism.

I don't seen any explicit documentation on this, but based on the way they display and they way they're used in e.g. the
Russia and
United States of America articles, it looks like the lat
and long
parameters are of the capital city, not the whole country. But it seems like there should be a single well-defined way of specifying coordinates for the whole country, too. Am I missing something? —

It would be really useful to have an automatic link from the flag caption to the related article. This could be done by replacing the text "Flag" under the flag image with
{{#ifexist: Flag of {{PAGENAME}}| [[Flag of {{PAGENAME}}|Flag]] | Flag }}
Alternatively, could you please add a |flag_caption=
