Is there any way to make ((fb|USA)) point directly to United States men's national soccer team and not the DAB United States national soccer team article? If not, then I think ((USAf)) should not be replaced with the ((fb)) template. Neier 12:17, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Comment: The USA isn't the only country with a nonstandard national team article. I'm sure there are a couple of others, but I know these off the top of my head. — Dale Arnett 03:00, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Using ((fb|Ireland)) gives Ireland, however looking at MOS:FLAGS this would seem to be a breach of the section "Inventing new flags and using non-flag stand-ins", does anyone know where the use of the St.Patrick's Soltaire comes from in relation to Irish Soccer? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fasach Nua (talk • contribs)
See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Ireland
Using ((fb|MOR)) gives Template:Country data MOR which links to Morocco Fed Cup team (Fed Cup tennis team article) and not Morocco national football team (the football/soccer team). Obviously something has gone wrong.

The country has recently been a subject to a vote whether the Wikipedia's article should rename it East Timor or Timor-Leste. The first option clearly won. So all the national teams of East Timor should be named that way. Is there any way to link the ((fb|TLS)) to East Timor national football team instead of Timor-Leste, to avoid the massive redirection? Tibullus (talk) 20:22, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
((fb|Serbia and Montenegro)) and ((fb|FR Yugoslavia)) and their 3 letter codes link to the current Serbia team yet its predecessor has its own article. VEOonefive 19:32, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
Can you add a parameter that allows you have the country without the link so it's in just plain text please. regards Govvy (talk) 12:23, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
((fb))
as far as I'm aware (with the current flag template system, pretty much any change in the format requires a separate template), though you could use the general ((flagg)) template: ((flagg|unue|France|avar=fb))
→ France. Alternatively, there is the general-purpose ((flagu)) for a flagicon with unlinked country name. That, however, unlike Flagg, does not automatically change the flags and names to football-specific variants, so you'd have to use the variant and name parameters (or redirects) where necessary.
((fb|Palestine)) doesn't work properly. It displays as Palestine instead of Palestine.
(In case it gets fixed later on, it's displaying as [[Palestine (({altlink))}|Palestine]].)
This is causing mis-display at articles such as 2006 AFC Challenge Cup. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:41, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
I've copied this template to the Welsh language wiki, but the syntax is the wrong way round. In Welsh, the noun always comes first with adjectives following, describing it. Hence my message on cywiki, if someone could help, please. It effects a large number of links, as you know. Llywelyn2000 (talk) 06:16, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
This template is redirect to Malaysia national football team. I just create the Malaya national football team and working on it, hope any administrators or template editor can fix the link. Molecule Extraction (talk) 11:09, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
((fb|Isle of Man))
produces a link to the dab page Isle of Man national football team. It would be nice if it magically guessed whether to link to Ellan Vannin football team or Isle of Man official football team depending on the context. As that's never going to happen, please does anyone have a more practical suggestion for dealing with this case? Certes (talk) 00:38, 14 July 2017 (UTC)
| link alias-football = Isle of Man official football teamto ((Country data Isle of Man)) would be a half-hearted solution but doesn't work where the Ellan Vannin team is intended, and vice versa. Perhaps ((fb)) needs an explicit "don't do any clever title manipulation; just draw the flag and link to this article" parameter.
I am deleting this template from all pages where it is creating a disambiguation link for Isle of Man. A template with no provision for addressing disambiguation links is a net negative for the project, and should be deleted altogether, and replaced with one that is actually designed to work in the environment of Wikipedia. bd2412 T 01:47, 28 December 2017 (UTC)
The no-flag template variant. VEOonefive 17:19, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
'fb|GUF' still produces when it should produce . The green and yellow flag has not been the overseas department's flag since 2015. Also, CONCACAF uses the official tricolor flag on their nation index. TrailBlzr (talk) 02:31, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
I'd like to make an edit request to fix the two Linter errors this page has... and it's honestly a really silly fix.
The last two lines of the template have )) and </span> on a new line after "football" for the altvar parameter. I'd like to have those curly braces and ending span tag be put on the same line as the altvar parameter instead.
Through some strange interaction with the documentation template, having those curly braces and span end tag on a different line is why the template page displays only the last two curly braces on a new line. Putting them on the same line as the altvar parameter gets everything on one line again and removes the Linter errors. I've checked this modification in the template sandbox if you want to refer to it. Wsan2 (talk) 18:53, 22 April 2019 (UTC)
Please devide template Crimea to box { { fb | Crimea } } and { { fb | Crimean Tatars } }. Because we have two exist teams: Crimea national football team and Crimean Tatars national football team, I advise indicate in exist template Crimea flag of Republic of Crimea and make redirect to Crimea national football team. And after make new template: Crimean Tatars with flag of Crimean Tatars and redirect to Crimean Tatars national football team. After this I correct information in the articles that link to both templates.. But I can not make and correct this templates. Please help me...--Benedetto xviii (talk) 01:24, 1 December 2019 (UTC)
((fb|Crimea))
produces Crimea, which links to Crimea national football team((fb|Crimean Tatars))
produces Crimean Tatars, which links to Crimean Tatars national football teamThis edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Please move </noinclude> to a new line to fix Special:LintErrors. There is some weirdness when parsing without this newline. See change in template Sandbox. Tholme (talk) 09:53, 3 April 2020 (UTC)

Please change "altlink = national football team" to "altlink = men's national football team". All the men's teams' pages have now been moved, and in some cases (e.g. Spain) "national football team" is ambiguous and this template sends readers to a disambiguation page (per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Football#National team RfC).
