Template talk:Flag decoration

Tracking redinks, and noredlink=yes

Per the discussion at Template talk:Flagicon#Noredlinks, I have amended the template (in these edits[1]) to allow:

1. the tracking of redlinks in Category:Flagdeco with missing country data templates (population: 0}
2. the suppression of redlinks, by using the parameter |noredlink=yes

I have documented this at Template:Flagdeco/doc (diff[2]).

Proposal: display country/region name in the tooltip

I propose displaying country/region name in the tooltip by default. It will help visually impaired readers, as well as help readers recognize countries/regions with lesser-known flags. The variant value, if present, should be appended to the tooltip, e.g., "Bulgaria, 1946". — UnladenSwallow (talk) 15:22, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

On a second thought, maybe we should not enable this by default, but with a parameter tooltip=yes (in most use cases {{flagdeco|…}} is already followed by country/region name, so there's no need for the tooltip). — UnladenSwallow (talk) 16:01, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Minor improvement in the flagdeco/core sandbox

Here. I replaced:

{{#if:{{{size|}}}|{{{size}}}|{{{size flag alias-{{{variant}}}|{{#if:{{{variant|}}}|23x15px|{{{size flag alias|23x15px}}}}}}}}}}

with

{{{size|{{{size flag alias-{{{variant}}}|{{#if:{{{variant|}}}|23x15px|{{{size flag alias|23x15px}}}}}}}}}}}

It should have the same effect—I tested it on a couple of pages with template preview—and be a smidgen faster with one less conditional. — 𝐆𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐚 ☎ 01:58, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Do you like the border?

I don't. (There is currently a 1px border) --Palosirkka (talk) 12:56, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
