can this please be fixed up (template produces a redlink to "Image:United States Australia Locator.png"), I don't know how to do it myself. Thanks, Alec -(answering machine) 05:21, 21 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
User:52 Pickup/Drafts/Template:Bilateral Many articles that use this template contain the current heads of the two governments. So why not include it in the box? By taking these images out of the text, it should free up some space. What do you think? - 52 Pickup (deal) 10:01, 24 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
Since I don't know how to draw them, is there anywhere to request them? Kevlar67 (talk) 05:50, 12 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
I think that links to embassies and ambassadors will appear on each page eventually, anyway so why not make it automatic? The problem is that "Embassy" in not the universal title. Someone smaller than me would have to figure out what to do about countries that send "missions", "offices", or "high commissions" (e.g. Tiawan, all Commonwealth countries), rather than embassies. Also why are my flags off centre?

Since I've been asked before I figured I should drop a line here about how to make the Bilateral relations maps
All you need is a texteditor which can handle large textfiles (without adding junk code) e.g. Word Pad and the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2-code of the countries. If you then save Image:Germany Japan Locator.svg to your computer (need to save the actual file not the png thumbnail) and open it in your text editor you should see a two lines (84 lines down) which say
.jp { fill: #e3801c; } /* Japan */
.de { fill: #3c9d3c; } /* Germany */
you then replace then replace "jp" by the isocode of the country you want in orange, and "de" by the iso of the country you want in green. Save the file under the new name and upload using a similar information layout to that on the Image:Germany Japan Locator.svg image page.
Some countries such as the UK and France are slightly tricker since they involve dependent territories (such as Reunion and Isle of Man) with their own ISO codes. For most countries it should be quite straight forward though. If you have any questions just drop a line on my talk page her or on Commons. /Lokal_Profil 15:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
It was just pointed out that the chosen colours (green / orange) are very hard do distinguish for certain colour blind people. I believe we should find two colours that work better, and change.
The next question is how to do this in the most efficient way. Were all the maps svg, it would simply involve changing two lines of text in each image, which could probably be done by a bot. Png's have to be edited manually. This is tedious and would probably lead to a long period of map colours not matching the colours specified in the template. Perhaps for an interim period we can have the box specify both colour possibilities? Or we could first migrate all maps to svg (a lot of this can be automated, so it's not as large a task as it may seem) and then once that's done, have a bot change all the colours.
Thoughts? Let me know, either here or on my commons talk page. Regards, Marmelad (talk) 11:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
Unresolved
this edit (now reverted) broke the template. Can someone tell me how to achieve the wrapping of country-names in spans, please? I want to add the hCard microformat. Thank you. Andy Mabbett | Talk to Andy Mabbett 18:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
At least my brower, Safari 3.2.1 running on Mac OS 10.5.6, an extra empty cell appears below the cell containing the name of the first country. Can this be fixed, or does this cell serve some purpose that is not obvious to me? Yilloslime TC 04:44, 14 July 2009 (UTC)Reply
Why does the infobox need giant flags on top of it . WP:MOSICON discourages this type of nationalist pride and decoration 86.42.86.114 (talk) 17:38, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Georgia and the European Union uses this template. In the template, Georgia is referred to as Georgia (country). The country is called "Georgia", but the Wikipedia article is called "Georgia (country)". How can the link be changed so that it says Georgia instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.247.11.156 (talk • contribs)
Someone seems to have vandalised this template to add the words 'smoking weed' to the box. I can't work out how this was done - it doesn't show up in the source code, and the template is fully-protected anyway! Can someone work out what is going on here, and revert it?

Check out fr:Modèle:Infobox Relations bilatérales! It's awesome. We need the same thing. --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 20:57, 18 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
