Looks like Kosovo (XK) is missing? [[User:Le Deluge|Le Deluge]] ([[User talk:Le Deluge|talk]]) 23:40, 24 August 2020 (UTC)
:Still missing — [[User:GhostInTheMachine|GhostInTheMachine]] <sup>[[User talk:GhostInTheMachine|talk to me]]</sup> 11:06, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
::@[[User:GhostInTheMachine|GhostInTheMachine]], [[User:Le Deluge|Le Deluge]]: XK is not actually in ISO 3166. There would need to be some consensus here before adding it (although it has been mentioned a few times over the years). <span class="nowrap">--[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User talk:Ahecht|<b style="color:#FFF;background:#04A;display:inline-block;padding:1px;vertical-align:middle;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK<br />PAGE</b>]])</span> 18:02, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:::I know, but this module is used in a number of contexts where the absence of XK does cause problems — [[User:GhostInTheMachine|GhostInTheMachine]] <sup>[[User talk:GhostInTheMachine|talk to me]]</sup> 18:07, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
::::@[[User:GhostInTheMachine|GhostInTheMachine]] I went ahead and added it, we'll see if anyone complains. <span class="nowrap">--[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User talk:Ahecht|<b style="color:#FFF;background:#04A;display:inline-block;padding:1px;vertical-align:middle;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK<br />PAGE</b>]])</span> 18:48, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::{{kitty}} Did they also define any subdivision codes? — [[User:GhostInTheMachine|GhostInTheMachine]] <sup>[[User talk:GhostInTheMachine|talk to me]]</sup> 18:53, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
::::::@[[User:GhostInTheMachine|GhostInTheMachine]] I'm not aware of any standardized ones. <span class="nowrap">--[[User:Ahecht|Ahecht]] ([[User talk:Ahecht|<b style="color:#FFF;background:#04A;display:inline-block;padding:1px;vertical-align:middle;font:bold 50%/1 sans-serif;text-align:center">TALK<br />PAGE</b>]])</span> 19:38, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:::::::Thanks. I could not find any either. At least the error messages have changed — [[User:GhostInTheMachine|GhostInTheMachine]] <sup>[[User talk:GhostInTheMachine|talk to me]]</sup> 20:26, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

::<code><nowiki>{{ISO 3166 code-3|Guinea-Bissau}}</nowiki></code> still returns nothing. I think the sandbox code may still need to be moved to the live module. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 01:04, 5 February 2025 (UTC)

Template:Infobox settlement uses <nowiki>{{#invoke:ISO 3166|geocoordinsert}}</nowiki>, but this option is not explained on the documentation page for this module. Is it possible for someone to explain the parameters that can be used and what the output should look like for this option?

== alt name does not appear to be working for "People's Republic of China" pulled from Wikidata ==
 
<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext inline>{{ISO 3166 code|{{{country|{{#property:P17}}}}}}}</syntaxhighlight> is code used in {{tl|Infobox station}}. At [[Qiziwan railway station]], <code>#property:P17</code> pulls "People's Republic of China" from property 17 for that article's Wikidata item, but the ISO template returns nothing. This appears to cause the article to be placed in {{cl|Wikipedia page with obscure country}} unnecessarily.
 
[[Module:ISO 3166/data/National]] contains "People's Republic of China" as one of China's <code>altnames</code>. <syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext inline>{{ISO 3166 code|Ivory Coast}}</syntaxhighlight> correctly returns "CI", apparently using an altname from that same module subpage. I haven't been able to figure out where this process is failing for "People's Republic of China". Any ideas? – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 01:09, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
:I think I figured out one thing. The property call to Wikidata is returning "<syntaxhighlight lang=wikitext inline>People&#39;s Republic of China</syntaxhighlight>", using an HTML entity for the apostrophe. Now I don't know where to ask about troubleshooting that problem. – [[User:Jonesey95|Jonesey95]] ([[User talk:Jonesey95|talk]]) 01:15, 5 February 2025 (UTC)
