== Problem with [[:File:Flag of the Soviet Union 1955.svg]] ==

There seems to be a problem with the flag for the Soviet Union. This is affecting at least 49 pages (the Winter Olympics articles at [[:Category:Articles with missing files]]). One file being called is [[:File:Flag of the Soviet Union 1955.svg]], which seems to be a redirect to [[:File:Flag of the Soviet Union (1938-1980).svg]]. Other Soviet Union flags redirecting to that one also seem to be missing, causing the bigger problem. - <b>[[User:Tucoxn|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:Verdana"; color=":#522C1B"><fontspan sizestyle="+1font-size:large"><span class="Unicode">t</span></fontspan>u</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#417DC1">coxn</fontspan>]]</b>\<fontsup facestyle="font-family:serif">^{[[User_talk:Tucoxn|talk]]}</font> 01:11, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

:Please spell it out with an example for dummies unfamiliar with the topic. I would like a link to an article and a brief description of how I can see there is something wrong (I don't mean the category, I mean where is the error in the article).

:I'd better add [[User:Tucoxn]] for a ping. [[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]] ([[User talk:Johnuniq|talk]]) 07:09, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

::[[User:Johnuniq|Johnuniq]]: Thanks for your response but it looks like this got fixed. It looks like this was an issue with some changes on Commons due to a rename request. Here are some Commons file histories that might explain what the problem was: [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union_(1938-1980).svg&action=history history for "File:Flag of the Soviet Union (1938-1980).svg"], [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union_1955.svg&action=history history for "File:Flag of the Soviet Union 1955.svg"], and [https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:Flag_of_the_Soviet_Union_(1955-1980).svg&action=history history for "File:Flag of the Soviet Union (1955-1980).svg"] (a new file). Again, this seems fixed for now. Thanks! - <b>[[User:Tucoxn|<fontspan facestyle="font-family:Verdana"; color=":#522C1B"><fontspan sizestyle="+1font-size:large"><span class="Unicode">t</span></fontspan>u</fontspan><fontspan colorstyle="color:#417DC1">coxn</fontspan>]]</b>\<fontsup facestyle="font-family:serif">^{[[User_talk:Tucoxn|talk]]}</font> 09:43, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

== Performance ==

Is this module faster or slower than the old [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template|flag templates]] based on [[:Category:Country data templates|Country data system]]? <span style="font-family:Segoe Script">[[User:Petr Matas|Petr Matas]]</span> 01:15, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

: I have done some measurements myself. Analysis of a page with 50 {{tl|Flagicon}}s takes 429±65 ms, analysis of a page with 50 {{tl|Flags}} takes 472±66 ms odof CPU time. The performance difference is lower than the measurement error. <span style="font-family:Segoe Script">[[User:Petr Matas|Petr Matas]]</span> 10:47, 23 June 2014 (UTC)

::Perhaps it would help performance to convert [[Module:Flags/MasterData]] to a JSON page and load its contents using <code>mw.text.jsonDecode()</code>. &ndash;&nbsp;[[User:Mxn|Minh <span style="font-variant: small-caps;">Nguyễn</span>]]&nbsp;^{[[User talk:Mxn|<span style="display: inline-block;">&#x1f4ac;</span>]]} 05:33, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

== Chuuk creates a link to a dab page ==

{{tlc|flags|Chuuk}} creates a link to a dab page [[Chuuk]]. It should like to the article [[Chuuk State]] instead. Here's an illustration: {{flags|Chuuk}}. Can someone fix that? [[User:Coastside|Coastside]] ([[User talk:Coastside|talk]]) 05:16, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
