I think that there should be a referencing templates for countries that no longer exist. (like USSR, East Germany...), though they still be used like in 1980 Summer Olympics medal count. 500LL 19:21, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
This list seems to mix ISO and IOC codes. Antigua and Barbuda is ATG (ISO) and ANT (IOC). The Bahamas is BHS (ISO) and BAH (IOC). Templates were already created using ISO codes, ie: United Nations member states. Conversion to {{ country}} is under way and will take place when SEWilcoBot finishes initializing ISO data.

Problem with {{ BRN}}: BRN is Brunei for ISO but Bahrain for IOC. Which country should it take on? Chanheigeorge 23:34, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Please focus on using ISO codes. It is a good idea to teach a standard, and it reduces new references to miscellaneous codes. ( SEWilco 04:19, 31 August 2005 (UTC))
In some list the flags (specially those from Belgium Belgium and Switserland Switzerland) turn out to be quit big. See e.g. winner list from Liège-Bastogne-Liège:
To mitigate this problem I've create a small template: {{ sBEL}} ({{sBEL}) and {{ sSUI}} ({{sSUI}). The table look like this then:

Are there currently templates that return a countries abbreviated form and personification. For example, an England template that returns "Eng" and another one that returns "English". josh ( talk) 18:45, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
The Pakistan template does not work. Has something to do with it's alias Islamic Pakistan. So the link leads to a page that does not yet exist. I made a temp fix for this by redirecting the Islamic Pakistan page to the Pakistan page. As I don't know how to edit templates :) Sorry for the stupid solution.
Please contribute to the discussion on flag icons at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style#Flag icons - manual of style entry?. ( SEWilco 14:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC))
That seems to be a problem when all of the template use in result template, they are unable to display it, is that have any problem?

Is it possible to add a template for Transnistrian Moldova? I know it's a disputed territory, but Wikipedia exists to document rather than judge notable controversy and dispute, and Transnistria (Pridnestrovie) does show up in some lists. Sjeng 06:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
{{flag|Transnistria}}
for
Transnistria.

Do we have a template for the 1910-1961 entity and flag ? If not, we need one, because it is incorrect to display the present-day flag and "Republic" in an article dealing with e.g. 1944. I.e. The Republic was the successor state to the Union, but can be treated as a different political entity. In addition, we also need a mechanism for displaying the old Republic flag when we're dealing with events up to the "New South Africa" era, and the current flag from then on. So we really need 3 templates e.g. ZAF for the old Union, ZAR for the apartheid Republic, RSA for the new Republic. Or have I missed something here ? Rcbutcher 11:49, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
{{flag|South Africa|1910}}
for
South Africa and {{flag|South Africa|1928}}
for
South Africa. As for creating new "shortcut" templates with three-letter names, I strongly advise against that. ZAF is the
ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for South Africa and RSA is the code used by
IOC, and
FIFA, so that's why there are two options available for editors. ZAR was never a standard country code for anything. If you really want the wikilink to point to the article at
Union of South Africa, the preferred way is to create a new
Template:Country data Union of South Africa. (This is a similar method to what was done for previous states of Germany, Japan, etc.) Hope this helps,
Andrwsc 16:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)Something seems to be broken with this - the flags seem to have disappeared for many of these templates. Nigel Ish 15:55, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
Please could somebody add "ZNZ" to Zanzibar as a three letter shortcut?
{{
flag|Zanzibar}}

Using some country codes that are not listed in the table I have seen these different displays.
XXX : {{XXX}} {{flagicon|XXX}}
That note about Morocco is useful. Perhaps it can be implemented elsewhere, for Switzerland if Taiwan is too complicated. For flagicon TAI and SWI, am I seeing the operation of redirects?
Does this mean LIT should be listed in the table? -- P64 ( talk) 22:37, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
Does the Republic of Kosovo not have a template? It's recognized by 86 UN members, has a membership in the IMF, World Bank, etc. -- Khazar ( talk) 15:56, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Why is Iceland shortened to ISL instead of ICE? This list uses English names. ICE is unique and easy to relate to, while ISL, although correct based on Icelandic, is generic and similar to Israel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mango från yttre rymden ( talk • contribs) 03:56, 5 December 2019 (UTC)
