== Edit request - add "U.S." as an alternate for United States ==

{{Template:Edit template-protected|answered=yes}}

U.S. is a commonly used abbreviation (explicitly listed as acceptable in [[MOS:ABBREVIATIONS]]. But "U.S." is not included as an alternate here (altnames={"US","USA"}). This causes articles to be added to [[:Category:Wikipedia page with obscure country]] if "U.S." is used in infoboxes that perform a check with <code>{{mli|ISO 3166}}</code> while "U.S." is OK in other infoboxes that do not perform this check. Please add "U.S." the the list of altnames on line 239. [[User:MB|<b style="color:#034503">MB</b>]] 21:03, 26 July 2022 (UTC)
