==Replace with redirect to [[Template:ISO 3166 name]] (September 9, 2018)==

{{edit template-protected|Template:ISO 3166 name|answered=yes}}
It basically does the same thing as [[Template:ISO 3166 name]] and [[Template:Iso2lang]] is a redirect that works similar to how this would works. It puts everything in one place making it easier to edit and it just logical. – [[User:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:#0011ff;font-family:Georgia;text-shadow: 0.15em 0.15em 0.15em #db3a00;'>'''BrandonXLF'''</span>]] [[User talk:BrandonXLF|<span style="color:blue;"><sup>'''(t@lk)'''</sup></span>]] 19:59, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

::{{ping|Enterprisey}} Yes my bad, I want to replace the contents with <code>#REDIRECT [[Template:ISO 3166 name]]</code>.

I am reverting this edit, because it caused broken links on literally ''thousands'' of articles that invoke this template, mostly indirectly through templates such as {{tl|Europe topic}}.  If and when this issue is corrected, feel free to change this back to a redirect again. --[[User:R'n'B|R'n'B]] ([[User talk:R'n'B|call me]] Russ) 22:04, 11 September 2018 (UTC)

::{{reply|Alex 21}} Something's gone wrong, because at {{tl|Europe topic}} there's just a blank space in <code>&#91;[ |Macedonia]&#93;</code>. And things like {{tl|Economy of Europe}} the link just says "Economy of" instead of "Economy of North Macedonia". —[[User:Mahagaja|Mahāgaja]] · [[User talk:Mahagaja|''talk'']] 13:50, 22 February 2019 (UTC)
::{{reply|Alex 21}} Yeah, something is wrong. I think you might need to take the phrase: 
 {{{{{|safesubst:}}}#ifeq:{{{mode|}}}|sort|North Macedonia}}
...which is there, and replace it with just the words:
 North Macedonia
...maybe? So it wouldn't be broken and so it would just be sorted like every other country (under N, since South Africa's sorted by S, etc). <small>[[User:Paintspot|Paintspot Infez]] ([[User talk:Paintspot|talk]])</small> 18:34, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello,

[[ISO 3166-2:PS]] needs to be changed to ''State of Palestine''. Note the ISO standard was changed in 2013, and that most Wikipedia categories have been renamed or recreated with the new name.

If I understand correctly,
 | PS = Palestinian territories
needs to be changed to:
 <nowiki>| PS = {{{{{|safesubst:}}}#ifeq:{{{mode|}}}|sort|Palestine, State of|State of Palestine}}</nowiki>

: Looks good to me. Since this seems like the kind of thing that could be controversial (even if we just follow the ISO standard), {{tlp|On hold until|18:00, 28 May 2020 (UTC)}}.

Delete:
*<code>MV (the Maldives → Maldives)</code> [[User:Rkt2312|Rkt2312]] ([[User talk:Rkt2312|talk]]) 20:11, 24 November 2022 (UTC)
:On the /article subpage there is only the {{code|{{!}}MV}} in the switch. There is more on the /data subpage. My question would be why would we want to delete [[Maldives]] from these template subpages? '''''[[User:Paine Ellsworth|<span style="font-size:92%;color:darkblue;font-family:Segoe Script">P.I.&nbsp;Ellsworth</span>]]'''''&thinsp;,&nbsp;[[Editor|<span style="color:black">ed.</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Paine Ellsworth|<sup>put'r&nbsp;there</sup>]]&nbsp;<small>12:14, 25 November 2022 (UTC)</small>
: {{edited2}} – Now I understand – this was just to remove the article "the", so "Maldives" stands alone (no "the Maldives"). '''''[[User:Paine Ellsworth|<span style="font-size:92%;color:darkblue;font-family:Segoe Script">P.I.&nbsp;Ellsworth</span>]]'''''&thinsp;,&nbsp;[[Editor|<span style="color:black">ed.</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Paine Ellsworth|<sup>put'r&nbsp;there</sup>]]&nbsp;<small>08:05, 26 November 2022 (UTC)</small>

* Could somebody please provide some additional context for why this was desired? It caused the automatic generation of a template-transcluded redlink for {{cl|Politics of Maldives}} this week, ''instead'' of the actually existing {{cl|Politics of the Maldives}}, as a parent of {{cl|Political movements in the Maldives}}, so it had to be reverted in order to fix that — but I'm conscious of the fact that it may also cause ''reverse'' problems if there are places where "Maldives" is actually used in the category name instead of "the Maldives". [[Special:WantedCategories]] needs to ''not'' see unfixable template-generated categories caused ''solely'' by back-and-forthing over whether this template is coded to generate "the Maldives" or just "Maldives" — so one way or the other, this needs to be sorted out so that this template '''never again''' causes the generation of another Maldivian category whose redlinked status hinges solely on the presence or absence of the word "the" in a category that already exists at the opposite form.
