What's the issue? Primefac (talk) 23:27, 5 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Athos

The flagicon links to Mount Athos. However, that page is about a different "Mount Athos", the correct page related to the flag is Monastic community of Mount Athos. 1000mm (talk) 01:45, 23 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Flagicon giving incorrect results despite correct code being entered.

Hi, I've been trawling through my local football team's wikipedia pages, and I've noticed that the flagicon for Ireland seems to be...broken? The flagicon code is IRE, which should give the tricolour of Green, White and Orange, but instead it gives the Red on White Saltire of Northern Ireland instead, which, apparently is EIR. I've tried to sort it through both source and visual editing, but nothing changes, leading me to think this is an issue on the template side.

@POTH94, could you please provide links to the affected pages and examples of the wikitext that is giving you unexpected results? —⁠andrybak (talk) 17:08, 27 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Please add this to the to top after the includeonly:

<templatestyles src="flagicon/styles.css" />

to replace the hack added to MediaWiki:Mobile.css for phab:T116318. Changes to MediaWiki:Mobile.css will be requested after this edit is made. SocietyBox (talk) 21:14, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Going to deactivate this for a minute. The change has merit, but I hadn't been tracking this and should have. There are about 1100 pages to investigate for goodness/cleanup (see the top of the page for an explanation), which it would be best to do before we add this here. Are you willing to do that work?

Got it down to a much more manageable couple hundred to look at. Izno (talk) 23:12, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not willing to do the work. I was proposing the change on a pure CSS reasoning. Personally, I don't even need the fix applied to all instances. Just those that don't even match .content a > img but have the "hack" applied to them and wrecking their aspect ratio (e.g.

Switzerland, where the flag icon isn't linked). SocietyBox (talk) 01:55, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
