Template talk:Country data Chinese Taipei

message: This sporting flag is broadly used outside the Olympics, but there need to be "|soccer" ("|football" may be too amibiguous; I'll leave that to others to sort out) and "|Paralympics" parameters for C.T. that display the correct flags.  See Chinese Taipei for the flags. — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont]   ‹(-¿-)› 20:27, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Done.  These are trivial to add - just look at some other flag templates for examples to copy from.  Andrwsc 22:01, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Missing at least two flags

message: This makes no sense to me:
*  =  (Use this only for "historical" references to Chinese Taipei national sports teams before the "Chinese Taipei" flag and name were first used in 1979)
(Emphasis added.)
It violates its own instructions; rather, there should simply be a note that for pre-'79 usage, it should be  =  (or perhaps ; I'm not really sure which).

replies: text: I added this variant because we're starting to expand the usage of the Country data templates beyond the  etc. templates.  Specifically, I am starting to roll out templates for national sports teams, such as  for football and  for basketball (with more sports to come).  My motivation is to replace over a thousand redundant flag templates (e.g. check out :Category:National football team templates).  In the case of Chinese Taipei, articles such as Chinese Taipei national football team include the history of the team prior to the "Chinese Taipei" naming.  Therefore, if I want to refer to results prior to 1979, I can now use  for .  Without this flag variant in this template, we would get  for , which produces a wikilink of Republic of China national football team, which is a redirect.  We want to avoid the redirects.  Hope this makes sense.  Andrwsc 09:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Confusion

message: (flag on FIFA website, but never used) and  (former football flag)
I think they also would be added as flag variants of Chinese Taipei. --Virtpedia (talk) 07:06, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Football flags 

message: We need a variant of this that does "Chinese Taipei (Taiwan)". In too many places, using "Chinese Taipei" is unencyclopedic/unhelpful; 99%+ of our readers have never heard this name, and they should be able to find "Taiwan" when doing an in-page search. We have all sorts of variations for China, e.g. "China, People's Republic of", "China (People's Republic of)", and "People's Republic of China", as well as "China" and "PRC".  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ<  03:01, 11 October 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Variant needed 

message: Please add | flag alias-football = Flag of Chinese Taipei (FIFA).svg so the flag used by FIFA (confirmed here and larger here) is able to be used for football templates. Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 20:30, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the  template. There seems to have been multiple discussions whether there is a need for a separate football flag. \color{blue}\chichi (talk) 11:54, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  The discussions were around a different flag, :File:Chinese Taipei Football Flag on FIFA website.svg, which FIFA no longer uses. This was removed as FIFA use a flag which more closely resembles the Olympic flag (:File:Flag of Chinese Taipei for Olympic games.svg). However, :File:Flag of Chinese Taipei (FIFA).svg is the flag used by FIFA (as shown on their association page), which has slight differences from the Olympic flag. As per previous discussions on WP:FOOTY, football flags should reflect what is used by FIFA. S.A. Julio (talk) 14:45, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
