Change navy template link to Maritime Operations Element of Papua New Guinea, and name to Maritime Operations Element. Skjoldbro (talk) 21:41, 10 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Skjoldbro: Sorry for the delay, but your request is difficult for me to correlate with what is in this template. I hope you have the right one! If it is the documentation that you mean, then there is a problem, because for this template the documentation is automatically generated. Anyway, I've copied the entire contents of this template into Template:Country data Papua New Guinea/sandbox, which you can edit yourself. Please make the changes you wish, ping me when you are finished, and then set the edit request back to |answered=no. As this template is merely an internal data container, it would be helpful if you could indicate in which template you intended to use the changed version of this template, so that we could test it. I'm sure that I could then sort out this edit-protected request for you. Thank you for your patience. Cheers --RexxS (talk) 17:49, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@RexxS: I originally thought that it was possible to do the [[Thing|other thing]] in the documentation, but I now know that is not possible. I have edited the sandbox, to show what I originally wanted, so that {{navy|Papua New Guinea}} has a more accurate name than just Papua New Guinea Defence Force. Hope that this clears things up, sorry to confuse you. Regards Skjoldbro (talk) 22:34, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Skjoldbro: No problem. I think the change has no undesirable side-effects, and refining refining Papua New Guinea Defence Force to Papua New Guinea Maritime Element for the navy template looks like a clear improvement. I've updated the main template for you:

{{navy|Papua New Guinea}} → Papua New Guinea Maritime Element

Is that the same issue for your other requests? If so, I know how to sort them now. --RexxS (talk) 23:26, 20 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@RexxS: Thanks, yeah it is the same for the other pages. Skjoldbro (talk) 10:04, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
