Module talk:Flag

Template-protected edit request on 15 July 2020

It is requested that an edit be made to the template-protected module at Module:Flag.
(edit · history · last · links · sandbox · edit sandbox · sandbox history · sandbox last edit · sandbox diff · test cases · transclusion count · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, so that an editor unfamiliar with the subject matter could complete the requested edit immediately.

Edit requests to template-protected pages should only be used for edits that are either uncontroversial or supported by consensus. If the proposed edit might be controversial, discuss it on the protected page's talk page before using this template. Consider making changes first to the module's sandbox and test them thoroughly here before submitting an edit request. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request. When the request has been completed or denied, please add the |answered=yes parameter to deactivate the template.

User:Le Deluge has reported a bug at Template talk:Flagicon: when function "icon" of Module:Flag is invoked, incorrect Category:Flagicon with missing country data templates is used. Correct category should be Category:Flagicons with missing country data templates. This is caused by concatenation of parameter "name" passed to function "_main", which is 'Flagicon' in the function "icon". Here's a fix: Special:Diff/965603747/967883637. There is probably a more conventional way of doing this in Lua. Of course, another solution would be to rename the Category:Flagicons with missing country data templates itself (and change wikitext in {{Flagicon}}). —⁠andrybak (talk) 22:25, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Possible new category name could be Category:Pages using flagicon template with missing country data—most popular naming scheme under Category:Unknown parameters. —⁠andrybak (talk) 22:36, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Side note: function "deco" does not have the same issue, because Template:Flagdeco uses tracking Category:Flagdeco with missing country data templates. —⁠andrybak (talk) 22:39, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

As I mentioned over on T:Flagicon, it's wanting other non-existent categories such as Category:Flag with missing country data templates and I've just noticed Category:Flagcountry with missing country data templates. Le Deluge (talk) 22:59, 15 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
