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?
