- You are completely missing the point. I am aware of the Macedonia naming dispute, but I could care less about it. What I do care about is the maintenance of the templates created by Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Flag Template. Specifically, the system we have created is to include a single instance of "Country_data" templates for each flag, and that instance is named after the main article on Misplaced Pages. Therefore, we have Template:Country data Republic of Macedonia because the main article for that nation is Republic of Macedonia. Second, any nation that has a ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for it, will also have a corresponding redirect for that code (in this case, Template:Country data MKD is the redirect). What you did was:
- create a new, parallel country_data structure that did not point to the main article name
- create a redirect from an abbreviation that is not in the ISO list
- use these two main-space templates only to support your user page, which is inappropriate
- The correct way to render a different label for the text string when using the {{flag}} template is to use the "name=" argument, as specified in the documentation page. You could have accomplished the same thing on your user page by {{flag|MKD|name=FYROM}}, for example.
- I had thought I was doing you a favor by editing your user page so that no redlink was left as part of our WikiProject cleanup process. Instead, you were extremely incivil to me on my talk page. In the future, I shall leave you to clean up any redlinks yourself. However, I will continue to speedy delete any new templates created outside the standard mechanism that are used solely to support your vanity page. Andrwsc 18:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
