Civil Ensign edit

The template needs updating to show the   Civil ensign too. Mjroots (talk) 11:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Silver Ferns edit

{{editprotected}} The |link alias-netball=Silver Ferns parameter is no longer needed, since Silver Ferns now redirects to New Zealand national netball team. If someone could please remove it, then {{nb|New Zealand}} could link to New Zealand national netball team rather than Silver Ferns. Cheers. Liveste (talkedits) 22:32, 19 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

alias edit

{{flagicon|NZ}} yields   so NZ is missing from the aliases.

Please add it. signed:Nuttyrave (talk) 21:01, 4 November 2011 (UTC)Reply

Edit request on 25 August 2012 edit

Black Sticks Men and Black Sticks Women have moved to New Zealand men's national field hockey team and New Zealand women's national field hockey team for naming consistency with other aticles. Can we please remove the current redirect (delete the parameter | link alias-field hockey = {{#ifeq:{{{mw}}}|women's|Black Sticks Women|Black Sticks Men}}).

  Partly done: I have updated the link alias-field hockey parameter with the new article names, rather than deleting it. It is still necessary as the men's team article is located at New Zealand men's national field hockey team, but if we removed the parameter the template would link to New Zealand national field hockey team instead. That wouldn't be so bad as it is a redirect to the correct article, but we may as well specify the right article to start with. Best — Mr. Stradivarius (have a chat) 04:17, 25 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Wrong flag appearing, per Template:Flag edit

Since yesterday on 6 December, the markup {{flag|New Zealand}}, which should appear as   New Zealand—around a pixel smaller—appears as   New Zealand; the edit was initially made by User:Salvabl, and seemed to constitute vandalism and has since been reverted—but yet, the false flag still appears right in front here. It specifically resembles this design ( ) as part of the forthcoming New Zealand flag referendums, 2015–16. Will it just be a matter of time until this matter is fixed, or otherwise?

No worries, now. It works! Neve-selbert · 06:23, 7 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

Template-protected edit request on 9 July 2016 edit

Please change the |link alias-softball= parameter from Black Socks to New Zealand {{{mw|men's}}} national softball team. This would accommodate {{sbw}}, which intends to show a flag icon and a link to a given national women's softball team, but, as is, links to the men's for New Zealand. It would also be more appropriate for the men's team, as Black Socks is a redirect to New Zealand men's national softball team. Thank you. Rebbing 15:56, 9 July 2016 (UTC)Reply

Template-protected edit request on 19 May 2017 edit

Please remove the link-aliases of field hockey and softball. They are redundant, moreover, the template {{sbj|NZL}} →   New Zealand is not working properly.

  Question: - Pinging Lcmortensen & Rebbing for comment in the light of their previous edit requests in this matter. Also, Maiō T., your use of {{sbj|NZL}} →   New Zealand looks OK to me.In what way do you consider it to be not working properly? Please expand/explain. Cabayi (talk) 20:37, 19 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
Missing word "junior". Maiō T. (talk) 20:38, 19 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
  Not done: Rewrote your template {{Sbj}} instead as that seems to be the problem that bugs you. Cabayi (talk) 15:32, 20 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

No, Cabayi, that wasn't a good idea. You've just deleted all mandatory parameters (size, name, altlink, altvar) from 'my' template {{Sbj}}.
So I'm gonna do it this way – here are 6 wikilinks, only first 4 are correct:

So remove those two link aliases and everything will be alright. (Tested on sandbox) Maiō T. (talk) 19:11, 20 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

At this moment I have 3 sticking points:
If any other TE wants to carry out your request I won't object, but personally, I'm not yet convinced. Cabayi (talk) 19:41, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
OK Cabayi, I've fixed both sandboxes. Maiō T. (talk) 21:18, 21 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
  • When I requested a sandbox I tacitly assumed that you'd understand that testcases were also required. Having taken a look at your previous requests I can now see that nobody's pointed that out to you in the past. Had they done so it's likely that your requests would not have needed re-work after their first edit request.
Wikipedia:Template sandbox and test cases gives a good outline of what's involved. Could you please read it before your next template edit request. Hopefully it'll make the process run more smoothly for you.
  • The template has 38465 transclusions. AWB limits a list of them to only 25000. Checking a sample of 2000 seems statistically significant, and no match for either variant was found in that sample.
Neither the field hockey or the softball variant appear to have been documented at any point which makes it even more unlikely that they were ever used.
  • Neither of the editors who previously requested/discussed these parameters have responded (both have been active since being pinged, on both occasions).

Edit request 4 August 2023 edit

Description of suggested change: Following page move of New Zealand national football team, could the template be update to link to New Zealand men's national football team similar to how it has been done with United States? I believe that adding the text I've indicated below would be sufficient.
