== Template needs option NOT to link country 18 September 2023 ==

{{Edit template-protected|answered=yes}}

Without such an option, this is a violation of [[MOS:OVERLINK]], particularly in a table with multiple links to the same country. Thanks! [[User:1980fast|1980fast]] ([[User talk:1980fast|talk]]) 22:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
: {{not done}} {{tl|flagu}} already exists to not link to the country. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 22:24, 18 September 2023 (UTC)
:: Thank you! I was completely unaware of its existence. I'm not sure how I managed to miss it while looking in the documentation, but I appreciate your pointing it out nonetheless! [[User:1980fast|1980fast]] ([[User talk:1980fast|talk]]) 07:32, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

== Fatah ==


How does this work and why is it not working for {{flag|Fatah}} / [[Fatah]]? Most other newsworthy Palestinian factions seem to work - {{flag|Hamas}} - {{flag|PFLP}} - {{flag|DFLP}} - but not the biggest. Does it pull a flag off the wiki page for a thing? Or is there a separate database? Does the flag on the page need to be a particular file format or size? [[User:Irtapil|Irtapil]] ([[User talk:Irtapil|talk]]) 13:51, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
:Yes, it attempts to pull a flag out of a template, which does not exist for Fatah but does for the others. See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Flag_Template#Implementation]] for information about creating/implementing the flag system for Fatah.

::I don't see how any of these flags satisfy [[MOS:SOVEREIGNFLAG]], so why do we have templates for them at all? [[Special:Contributions/2A00:23C5:BA8A:BF01:9B6:5525:7FD6:7C51|2A00:23C5:BA8A:BF01:9B6:5525:7FD6:7C51]] ([[User talk:2A00:23C5:BA8A:BF01:9B6:5525:7FD6:7C51|talk]]) 22:48, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

== Edit request 21 January 2025 ==

{{edit template-protected|Template:Country data Syria|answered=yes}}
'''Description of suggested change:'''

The [[flag of Syria]] has been updated on that page and on other prominent locations such as [[Syria]]. It should be updated here as well for consistency. <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Jhpratt|Jhpratt]] ([[User talk:Jhpratt#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jhpratt|contribs]]) 10:45, 21 January 2025 (UTC)</small>
:[[File:Red question icon with gradient background.svg|20px|link=|alt=]] '''Not done''': it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a [[WP:EDITXY|"change X to Y" format]] and provide a [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|reliable source]] if appropriate. I thought the redirect was accurate; what has changed and what needs changing?<!-- Template:ETp --> [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 12:28, 21 January 2025 (UTC)
::Frankly, I don't even know if I'm asking this in the right place. It was ''incredibly'' difficult to find the relevant page, and this quite possibly isn't it.
::As to what I'm asking to have changed; the flag of Syria changed with the toppling of the Assad regime. Rather than the red-white-black flag with two stars, the green-white-black flag with three stars is now used. Anywhere these mini icons are used still uses the old flag, which is no longer accurate. I can't provide a diff because of the aforementioned difficulty — I don't even know where these icons are stored.
::[[User:Jhpratt|jhpratt]] ([[User talk:Jhpratt|talk]]) 07:18, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
:::I think you might need to go to Commons; [[:File:Flag of Syria.svg]] is currently pointing to [[:File:Flag of the United Arab Republic (1958–1971), Flag of Syria (1980–2024).svg|the two-star file]] but we can't do anything about that here. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 09:02, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
::::Looking at the discussion there, it appears as though there's some hiccups regarding changing the redirect. Thanks for the information! [[User:Jhpratt|jhpratt]] ([[User talk:Jhpratt|talk]]) 08:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

== Mobile collapsible sections  ==

It seems the present template prevents the collapse of sections on mobile devices. Does anyone suspect why? See, for example, [[Futsal]]. [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 20:37, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
:Why do you think that it is this template that is causing that issue? [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 23:17, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
::It was collapsing well just before the inclusion of flags: [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=1025223390&title=Futsal] (to be viewed on a mobile screen or simulated so with Ctrl+Shift+I on Chrome). [[User:Fgnievinski|fgnievinski]] ([[User talk:Fgnievinski|talk]]) 03:48, 26 May 2025 (UTC)
:::For me it starts not-collapsing in the subsequent diff, [[Special:Diff/1025223390]]; the diff you link has {{t|flag}} and appears to be working correctly. I suspect there is something else weird being done, but I honestly don't have time right now to look, but I'll do so when I get home from work. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 09:21, 28 May 2025 (UTC)
::::The version that works has <code>&lt;!-- MobileFormatter took 0.118 seconds --&gt;</code> in the html source, the version that doesn't does not, which suggests to me that MobileFormatter is having trouble processing the version that doesn't work. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 02:49, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
:::::Looks like this is because $wgMFMobileFormatterOptions['maxImages'] is set to disable collapsible sections if there is more than 1000 images on a page. [[User:Bawolff|Bawolff]] ([[User talk:Bawolff|talk]]) 03:04, 29 May 2025 (UTC)
::::::Okay, so it's less that this template is being used, and more that it's being used 1000+ times on the page. [[User:Primefac|Primefac]] ([[User talk:Primefac|talk]]) 15:33, 7 June 2025 (UTC)
