== Suggestion: add a table-alignment parameter ==

At [[Special:Diff/1028180415]], I had to swap out {{tl|flaglist+link}} for {{tlp|flagg|unpe}} for [[WP:PEIS]] reasons, but that did mean losing the <code><nowiki> style="text-align: left" </nowiki></code>. Could I add a "T" option (table, but different to "t") that causes the alignment setting to be output at the start of the template? This would default to left but be controlled by the existing align= parameter if needed. [[User:GKFX]]<sup>[[User talk:GKFX|talk]]</sup> 17:19, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

== Asterisk optionality ==

Is it possible _not_ to display the asterisk in a case, such as with the article, [[list of European countries by population]]. I find it very distracting and redundant. <small>--[[User:Mahmudmasri|Mahmudmasri]] ([[User talk:Mahmudmasri|talk]]) 15:07, 3 June 2022 (UTC)</small>

== Flagg|cxxlo for BLR/RUS players ==

What is the four-letter abbreviation parameter for Belarus/Russian sports athletes for {{tlx|flagg}}, similar to <nowiki>{{flagg|cxxlo}}</nowiki>, equivalent to <nowiki>{{flagicon|}}</nowiki>? [[User:Qwerty284651|Qwerty284651]] ([[User talk:Qwerty284651|talk]]) 12:15, 12 May 2023 (UTC)

:You can use {{ml|flag|althlete}}, which is a wrapper for [[Module:flagg]], as an alternative to {{tl|flagathlete}}. --[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User talk:Ahecht|<span style="color:#FFF;background:#04A;display:inline-block;padding:1px;vertical-align:-.3em;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK<br />PAGE</span>]]) 21:00, 21 January 2024 (UTC)

== Does not work with colspan ==

See: [[User:Timeshifter/Sandbox205]] and its file history. 

Instead of 
:<code><nowiki>| colspan=4 |{{flagg|us*eft|pref=Economy of</nowiki></code>

I had to use: 
:<code><nowiki>| colspan=4 style=text-align:left |{{flag+link|Economy of</nowiki></code>

Here below is what shows up with 
:<code><nowiki>| colspan=4 |{{flagg|us*eft|pref=Economy of</nowiki></code>

Substituting <code><nowiki>{{flagg|uspeft</nowiki></code> for <code><nowiki>{{flagg|us*eft</nowiki></code> does not help.

== Flag of Martinique ==

Even though Martinique has a new flag as of 2023, the French flag still erroneously displays. As well as that, emojis depicting the flag have the racist snake flag (🇲🇶). [[User:OMGShay 92|OMGShay 92]] ([[User talk:OMGShay 92|talk]]) 15:26, 30 June 2023 (UTC)

== Row moving over one cell. Table bug using Flagg template ==

{| class=wikitable
|+ Wikipedia:Village pump (technical) thread
|I am using '''Firefox''' on '''Windows 10 Pro PC.''' Latest standard versions on both. '''This does not happen to me on the Edge browser.''' Whether I am logged in or not. I '''logged out of Wikipedia''' and I still have the problem with Firefox. So it is not my JS and CSS files. I also '''disabled all my Firefox addons''' and then '''closed all my Firefox windows.''' I launched Firefox and I still have the problem with Firefox. No addons and not logged in. 

The '''problem tables all use templates''' within the table. But it is '''not a problem with tables using {{tl|flaglist}}.'''

See '''[[List of countries by total health expenditure per capita]].''' Both tables there use '''{{tl|flagg}}.''' 

Open '''visual editor.''' Click to the right of the either of the 2 tables. Note the bizarre result of the row moving over one cell. Click to the right of a different row and note that row moving over one cell. If you click above or below the table the problem goes away. 

I opened visual editor for '''[[Help:Table]]''' and tried clicking to the right of many tables. Closer and farther away. I have noted the problem there with only one table so far. Have to go there to use visual editor on this table:
*'''[[Help:Table#Table cell templates]]'''

I see the problem only with the middle row there. Click to the right of it, and click closer until the row moves over one cell. It doesn't happen all the time.

'''I removed the templates from a few rows of one of the tables in the list article. This solved the problem.''' And the small table above only has the bug in the middle row using templates. --[[User:Timeshifter|'''Timeshifter''']] ([[User talk:Timeshifter|talk]]) 15:00, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

== Edit request 8 October 2023 for adding new "i" option to use IOC country code resolution Reply Suggestion ==

{{Edit template-protected|Module:Flagg|answered=yes}}

Add an extra "i" option, to use the [[IOC country codes]] for resolving the entity string to country data, using [[Module:Country alias/data]]. This is useful primary in Olympic contexts, where codes like "BRN" always refer to Bahrain rather than Brunei as they currently do with the default resolution options.

* Testcase added to {{tl|Flagg/testcases}} and tested {{tick}}
* Documentation added to {{tl|Flagg/doc}} {{tick}}

The edit is uncontroversial because it does not change the existing template/module behavior at all, unless the new "i" option is added.

'''Description of suggested change:''' See [[Module:Flagg/sandbox]], where the change is completed.

Add this code after line 52 <code>local country = args[2] or ""</code>:
<pre>
	local countryDataCountry = country
	if string.find(me, "i") then
	    local titleIocCountryData = mw.title.new[[Module:Country alias/data]]
	    local IocCountryData = require(tostring(titleIocCountryData))
	    local iocCountryAlias = IocCountryData.countryAliases[country] or country
	    countryDataCountry = IocCountryData.countries[iocCountryAlias]["name"]
	end
</pre>

Also, change line 73:

{{TextDiff|1=data = CountryData.getcachedtable(frame, country, apar)|2=data = CountryData.getcachedtable(frame, countryDataCountry, apar)}}

Also, change line 77:

{{TextDiff|1=data = (args["nodata"] and {}) or CountryData.getcachedtable(frame, country, {variant=args["variant"] or args[3]})|2=data = (args["nodata"] and {}) or CountryData.getcachedtable(frame, countryDataCountry, {variant=args["variant"] or args[3]})}}

== Washington, D.C. ==

'''[[Washington, D.C.]]''' is correct spelling according to the Wikipedia page.

Can {{tl|flagg}} be fixed so that "Washington, D.C." shows up instead of just "Washington":
{|
|{{flagg|us*eft|pref=Crime in|Washington, D.C.}}
|}
<code><nowiki>{{flagg|us*eft|pref=Crime in|Washington, D.C.}}</nowiki></code>

I would prefer not having to add another parameter (more work) to force the addition of D.C. to the link:
{|
|{{flagg|us*eft|pref=Crime in|Washington, D.C.|name=Washington, D.C.}}
|}
:<code><nowiki>{{flagg|us*eft|pref=Crime in|Washington, D.C.|name=Washington, D.C.}}</nowiki></code>

== Template-protected edit request, June 28, 2025 ==

{{TPER|Module:Flagg|answered=yes}}

This is to fix the behavior of non-breaking spaces, which don't display as expected when placed between an image and text. Another way that works is to use {{tag|span|attribs=class="nowrap"}} tags. I've [[Special:Diff/1297666946|sandboxed these changes]], and you can see a few test cases [[Special:Permalink/1297763610#Flaggs|in my sandbox]] that demonstrate the behavior. For some background, [[Special:PermanentLink/1297768841#Template-protected edit request, June 28, 2025|I requested a similar change]] to {{tl|Flag}}, which was implemented earlier today, and [[Special:PermanentLink/1295103355#Template-protected edit request, May 21, 2024|another similar request]] was implemented on {{tl|Icon link}} ([[Module:Icon]]) last year. This change also removes the <code>w</code> option for the [[Template:Flagg#Additional options|first parameter]], which prevents the entire template output from wrapping, which is unnecessarily blunt. I'm happy to make any necessary changes to the documentation if this is implemented.

=== Spacing problem ===

{{TPER|Module:Flagg|answered=yes}}

Hello, as an editor of darts articles, I noticed about 2 hours ago that the flag templates used on darts articles (e.g. the [[2025 World Matchplay]] which uses [[Template:PDCFlag]]) no longer included a space between the flag and player name. I'm not very well-versed in technical problems on Wikipedia, but I was wondering if this had anything to do with the recent edit made to fix non-breaking spaces, as this module is transcluded on all template examples I found to be affected. Any help would be appreciated [[User:Greenflipper|Greenflipper]] ([[User talk:Greenflipper|talk]]) 01:21, 12 July 2025 (UTC)

:It turns out that in cases where the module outputs something like <syntaxhighlight lang="HTML" inline><span class="nowrap"><span class="whatever">...</span> </span></syntaxhighlight> (with an intentional space between the closing tags), the space doesn't get rendered. No idea why that is, I'm no web developer, but [[Special:Diff/1300115198|this sandboxed change]] seems to fix it, so let's call that another edit request.
