Roadmap

edit

What is missing to reach feature parity with Template:Flagicon:

  • m.fullName table needs key and values to become values and keys... As a way to accept different names (aliases) pointing to a same flag.
  • Possibility of defining the full name of a flag in Commons by using "File:" in the table values.
    • Also by users specifying "File:" in the parameter? Easy to implement but do we want so much freedom for editors?
  • Performance testing.
  • Extensive testing with copies of real pages, also for non-Latin scripts and Right-to-left languages.
  • Cover the rest of functionality offered by other flag templates.
  • Allow editors to define the year of the event, leaving to the template the task of finding the right flag.
