Request to edit and change the category at: Template:Country data Denmark from 'Category:Country data templates of subdivisions of Denmark' to 'Category:Country data templates of subdivisions of the Kingdom of Denmark'. There is a Distinction between Denmark and the Kingdom of Denmark. Outside the Kingdom of Denmark, "Denmark" is used as the English short-form name to describe the Kingdom of Denmark. The Danish name that is commonly used is Danmark, which is a singular form, whereas both the official Danish name Kongeriget Danmark and the English "(Kingdom of) Denmark" is a plural form. In Danish practice, however, "Kingdom of Denmark" is shortened to "Kingdom" and not to "Denmark", as the latter name could be confused with the Kingdom's principal constituent country rather than with the Kingdom. Apart from the fact that referring to the Kingdom of Denmark as "Denmark" can be confusing, the term "Kingdom" is also used to prevent any feelings of ill will that could be associated with the use of the term "Denmark." The use of the term "Denmark" for the Kingdom as a whole might imply that the Faroe Islands and Greenland are not equal to the Kingdom's country in mainland Europe and that the three island countries have no say in affairs pertaining to the Kingdom but are instead subordinate to the European country. The Kingdom of Denmark is the sovereign state consisting of the three parts of the kingdom— Denmark, Faroe Islands and Greenland—are constituent countries (riget or commonly known as the 'Unity of the Realm' (Danish: rigsfællesskabet) and are equal as in the kingdom.

Not done: This isn't something that can actually be done at this template, and will need larger discussion in order to implement. You're welcome to do so at Template talk:Country showdata. Primefac (talk) 13:52, 19 February 2018 (UTC)Reply
