Liechtenstein at the 1936 Summer Olympics

@Primefac Please implement the following updates, will be much appreciated. Switch parameter for (Liechtenstein "|year = 1936"), since they switched their flag for 1936 for these Olympic Games specifically. Though in the Winter Olympics they stuck with the original flag at that year.

 Done. Primefac (talk) 11:32, 7 June 2024 (UTC)

AIN

Please add  Olympic Athletes from Russia (2018) for AIN:

replace

| AIN = {{flagIOC|RU1}} (1900–1912)<br/>{{flagIOC|URS}} (1952–1988)<br/>{{flagIOC|EUN}} (1992)<br>{{flagIOC|RUS}} (1994–2016)<br>{{flagIOC|ROC_2020}} (2020–2022)

with

| AIN = {{flagIOC|RU1}} (1900–1912)<br/>{{flagIOC|URS}} (1952–1988)<br/>{{flagIOC|EUN}} (1992)<br>{{flagIOC|RUS}} (1994–2016)<br>{{flagIOC|OAR|2018 Winter}} (2018)<br>{{flagIOC|ROC_2020}} (2020–2022)

 Not done: OAR in 2018 was a Winter sport, and so far AIN have only had Summer attendance. The only place we do cross-season linking is on the overview page, which already has OAR (2018) listed. Primefac (talk) 12:56, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

@Primefac: But other entries here include winter: Russia (1994-2016) instead of (1996-2016), ROC (2020-2022) instead of (2020) (in 1994 and 2022 there where winter .games).Anatoliy (Talk) 13:28, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

That's a different case entirely. AIN has zero connection to OAR, whereas both AIN and OAR are connected to RUS. Primefac (talk) 16:15, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

AIN in Other related appearances

I couldn't find which template needs to be edited for that, but "Individual Neutral Athletes" needs to be added to the "Other related appearances" sections of:

• Russian Empire (RU1),
• Soviet Union,
• Unified Team.

RU1 is also missing the entry for "Russian Olympic Committee".

The AIN list is missing years for Belarus: 1994–2020.

Also, going by the logic that RU1 was a summer-only team, it should not list "Olympic Athletes from Russia" which is a winter-only team. Aleph Kaph (talk) 22:56, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

I'll get to work on this. Primefac (talk) 11:52, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Latvia at the 1636 Olympics

on the page Unified Team at the 1992 Winter Olympics the "other related appearances" lists Latvia as Latvia (1924–1636, 1992–), which is a basic typo. I cant figure out how the template works or how to change that data point, so is someone more familiar with it able to fix? Emma0mb ^talk 18:38, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Huh, good catch.  Fixed. Primefac (talk) 20:44, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Edit request 4 January 2025

File:Russian Paralympic Committee special emblem (Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022).jpg has been deleted and broke pretty much every article that used the Paralympics template. Supposedly, there was an F8 justification, but I can't find a corresponding file on Commons. Can someone replace/remove it? Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 21:46, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

Not done for now: first of all, editor Sumanuil, I'm not seeing this file in this or any associated template other than Template:Infobox country at games/see also. Secondly, this image was deleted on Commons where it is used on only three pages. However, it was not deleted on WP – see File:Russian Paralympic Committee special emblem (Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022).jpg – and is used on many, many pages. Please be more descriptive as to what exact edit you want to make. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 01:31, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Apparently it was undeleted. But it was used in about 500 articles, because some of the flag templates (for example, {{flagIPCteam}}) seem to call for it. I think they didn't realize it had been removed from Commons before deleting it under criterion F8. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 06:45, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarity, editor Sumanuil! {{flagIPCteam|RPC}} yields  RPC (RPC), and if we follow the RPC link we find that the Independent Paralympians at the Paralympic Games page to which it redirects uses the File:Paralympic flag (2019).svg () instead. So do you want to replace the Commons-deleted flag with the File:Paralympic flag (2019).svg? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:11, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Paine, I'm not seeing where there has been a deleted file that needs replacing. The {{flagIPCteam}} link you provide above is just a redirect, so the flag is correct even though there is no article about the subject. Primefac (talk) 19:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Are we certain about that? As I mentioned, the target of the redirect sports a flag that only has the bottom part of the other flag that WP still has but has been deleted from Commons. So it seems that the File:Russian Paralympic Committee special emblem (Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022).jpg flag might need to be replaced with the File:Paralympic flag (2019).svg flag. I'm not an expert, so I will go with whatever you say. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:33, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I've done an {{r to section}} with that link, so hopefully that will clear up any confusion. Primefac (talk) 19:38, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Not for anything, Primefac, but that seems too focused. "RPC" is also mentioned in the next section, 2022 Winter Paralympics. And the issue of which flag to use in the module still needs to be resolved, doesn't it? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 19:52, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I'll self-revert that, even though technically RPC did not participate in the 2022 Games but I can see the point where they were going to.

As far as the module goes, the RPC flag is shown properly so I do not see a need to change anything. Primefac (talk) 20:01, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Thank you, Primefac, for your consideration. As indicated I am no expert, so your counsel is golden! For lack of consensus, there is no need to change the module as long as the File:Russian Paralympic Committee special emblem (Tokyo 2020, Beijing 2022).jpg flag remains on WP.
