The flag for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands in the list seems to not be displaying properly. Frotzilla (talk) 06:15, 30 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

Unfortunately, that flag is subject to copyright. Therefore a placeholder is displayed by the flag template anywhere on English Wikipedia. See Template talk:Country data Cocos (Keeling) Islands Joe vom Titan (talk) 19:03, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply

do we have a source for the explanation column on the table, or is it a very fine piece of WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH? Morwen (talk) 18:07, 5 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

What about AUD for Australian Dollar?

What about AUS for Australia Sport? MountVic127 (talk) 08:41, 23 June 2026 (UTC)----Reply

The articles about these are at ISO 4217 and List of IOC country codes respectively. Please note though this page is for discussion about the article, not for general questions you might have - we have a reference desk for that. Morwen (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

For the .md TLD of Moldova, the article states that it is "Restricted to individuals or companies with a physical address in Moldova." This is wrong or outdated, since the NIC.md FAQ explicitly states, that "Any natural or legal person, irrespective of the country of residence, can register a .md domain name. The domain name registration request is considered by the .md DOMAIN NAME REGISTRY the applicant's warranty that the registration can be done legally and that he is entitled to use the requested domain name." The corresponding question is "Who can register a .md domain name?"

Should I just remove the notes for Moldova altogether or replace them with a correction? Maximilian Schwärzler (talk) 20:05, 23 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

This article uses inconsistent American and British spellings. 2600 etc (talk) 21:22, 27 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

There's a huge wall of text in the intro which specifies what year each ccTLD was implemented. Well, it's not complete at all, does not specify year further than "1990s" for the 1990s, and the summarized version taking up the entirety of the "History" section is even less complete than the first iteration. I'm opting to move the dates, being the only things these lists contributed, into a new column of the big (readable) list at the bottom of the page, and remove these eyesores. There are naturally a lot of gaps in the year section. That is because the original lists did not include any more years than what I transferred by hand. Someone can go in and add the rest, or delete the entire column, I am impartial in that regard, just don't revert the spam. Sappyduck (talk) 16:21, 10 August 2026 (UTC)Reply
