Replace the liver version with the sandbox version Module:ISO 3166/sandbox. The sandbox allows for more inputs to be converted to usable inputs as seen at the test cases Module_talk:ISO_3166/testcases and I indented all the code so it's more organized and easier to read, as well as fixing a few comments. – BrandonXLF (t@lk) 03:12, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
- done, will revert if I see any script errors popping up. Frietjes (talk) 13:44, 20 September 2018 (UTC)
Deleted codes

Flag template appears to cause "obscure country" category to be applied
The use of a flag template, as allowed in the documentation for {{Infobox settlement}}, appears to cause this template to apply Category:Wikipedia page with obscure country. See Belmont Village, Philadelphia for an example. – Jonesey95 (talk) 06:13, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
Please limit error checking to main (article) space
Category:Wikipedia page with obscure country is not limited to main (article) space, but it should be. Can someone who knows about Lua programming please place this limit on this and other tracking categories used by this module? Thanks. – Jonesey95 (talk) 16:41, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
- Jonesey95, seems reasonable. I did the same for Category:Wikipedia page with obscure subdivision. note that since namespace checking could add overhead, I put the checks inside the various if blocks so the check happens only if the category is to be added. if there were no overhead from checking the namespace, we could reduce the number of checks by a factor of 2.

Updates needed
I see that Module:ISO 3166/data still uses Swaziland rather than Eswatini, that needs changing.Le Deluge (talk) 13:15, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Having compared the data page for the template with the official list there's quite a few discrepancies. I'm well aware some of these are old favourites for discussion on Wikipedia, such as Macau versus Macao, Czechia and Viet Nam, but if the template is billing itself as ISO 3166 then surely it should give the official ISO 3166 names, or does that break too many things down the line?

- Eswatini is updated. As for the discrepancies, the module has a parameter
|isoname=to toggle between common names and ISO names. The ISO names in the module (which I added to your table for comparison) don't include the article "(the)", though I note the ISO site itself doesn't consistently include it (or rather, it seems to consistently include it only in the "Short name lower case" field and not in the all-caps "Short name"). Similarly, the standard's two short names of the DRC, South Korea and Taiwan differ in the use of commas vs. parentheses, with the module being consistent with the uppercase names.

Kosovo?
Looks like Kosovo (XK) is missing? Le Deluge (talk) 23:40, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
substitutable?
I tried to subst {{Country name}} and I got a bare invoke instead of the output. Is there a way to subst these templates? –Fredddie™ 06:03, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
Guinea-Bissau error
Currently, {{ISO 3166 code-3|Guinea-Bissau}} does not return anything, despite seemingly being listed in the module. Could anyone figure out the error and resolve it? {{u|Sdkb}} talk 20:51, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
