Having just realised this is a non-standard template syntax after trying to fix it...is there a way to change this template so that its useage on topics that donot disambiguate subjects properly reflects it, when others (including the main topic) do? Example,Saba is a disambiguation page, whileSaba (island) is the one referred to here. But this template's use in{{Flags of North America}} means the link to Saba's flag doesn't display right when on that page, because it's atFlag of Saba, notFlag of Saba (island). Is there any way to work around this? -The Bushranger_{One ping only}05:35, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I clicked a few links from the template you linked to, and they all worked. If you are still reporting a problem, please give a step-by-step explanation of how to reproduce it. –Jonesey95 (talk)05:21, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The links operate fine. But if you look at the template onFlag of Saba, you'll notice Saba in it is still a link. If you compare that to how the template looks onFlag of Sint Eustatius, note that the link for Sint Eustatius is not there, and instead is bolded text, as it should be for a link in a navbox when you're on its page perWP:BYPASSREDIRECT. -The Bushranger_{One ping only}05:24, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you are reporting. Thanks for the details. MovingFlag of Saba toFlag of Saba (island) to match the parent article (and disambiguate from a possible but unlikelyFlag of Saba, Iran orFlag of Sabá) would probably resolve the issue. –Jonesey95 (talk)13:21, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Change the link for the text "United States" (in the Sovereign states section) to be toUnited States instead ofThe United States.
