Largest city?

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have asked about this once before, but I still think it is relevant. Can "largest city" be added to this template? It is available of for the current country infobox, and it does sometimes make sense to fill it out. -- Nidator ^{T / C} 10:33, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Insufficient number of iterations

I am in the process of correcting the reference errors in the Nabatean Kingdom article. The infobox lists 11 leaders named but this template can only iterate up to 9, (leader1... leader2...) and this triggers an infobox error message. Can someone with authority could add the two extra iterations (which is an easy task). — Ineuw talk 21:36, 24 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please remove the flags from the |today= parameter per MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. TompaDompa (talk) 13:05, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

That example is in the documentation subpage, which isn't protected. Kanguole 13:39, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

My bad. I was for some reason under the impression that the template added the flags automatically. Now I see that they're added manually by editors. Oh well. TompaDompa (talk) 14:48, 31 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I believe a recent change to this template is causing issues in some articles using template "Infobox Former Country" in capitals. See [1] and [2] Vpab15 (talk) 23:18, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Done It was an issue with double-redirects. Usually a bot fixes them pretty quickly so I didn't think anything of it. I've dealt with all of them. Primefac (talk) 23:22, 12 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
