The flag of the Norwegian city and my hometown Tønsberg should be added to this template, so when you set in {{flag|Tonsberg}}, it will show Tønsberg's city flag which looks like this:

:File:Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: This template is based on country data, and as far as I am aware it is not granular to the point of listing cities. Primefac (talk) 12:28, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

::There are a few cities such as {{tl|Country data Moscow}} and {{tl|Country data London}}, so I'm not averse to an occasional addition, but only if there is consensus to do so. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 12:37, 27 May 2023 (UTC)

:::To make a city's flag work with {{tl|flag}}, you need to create {{tl|Country data Tønsberg}}. Copy the format used at {{tl|Country data Oslo}}. You'll need to find a verified city flag, however; see comments at [https://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/no-07-04.html this web page]. – Jonesey95 (talk) 03:29, 30 May 2023 (UTC)

Switzerland and Vatican City currently only include previously used flags in this template. Currently {{tl|Country data Switzerland}} uses File:Flag of Switzerland (Pantone).svg and {{tl|Country data Vatican City}} uses File:Flag of Vatican City State - 2023 version.svg. Please update the template to include those 2 flags or to recognise square flags in general so they have an extra space in templates such as {{tl|flagu}}.

Without such an option, this is a violation of MOS:OVERLINK, particularly in a table with multiple links to the same country. Thanks! 1980fast (talk) 22:08, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

: {{not done}} {{tl|flagu}} already exists to not link to the country. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 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! 1980fast (talk) 07:32, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

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? 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. Primefac (talk) 14:06, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

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

{{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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jhpratt (talk • contribs) 10:45, 21 January 2025 (UTC)

:File:Red question icon with gradient background.svg Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. I thought the redirect was accurate; what has changed and what needs changing? 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.

:::I think you might need to go to Commons; :File:Flag of Syria.svg is currently pointing to the two-star file but we can't do anything about that here. 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! jhpratt (talk) 08:06, 23 January 2025 (UTC)
