Lakshadweep
[edit]I do not think Lakshadweep should be listed as a state of India; it is only a union territory.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 19:09, 13 February 2017 (UTC)
- It is in Union Territory part already!--Praveen:talk 02:40, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
- But it is in the States of India part as well.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 08:30, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Fixed here. 
Thank you. Johnsoniensis--Praveen:talk 14:59, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
Label not displaying
[edit]This template now displaying identifier instead of label [1]. It was properly displaying labels yesterday (IST). Just linking Jarekt because I saw he edited Module:Wikidata label--Praveen:talk 05:46, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
- Praveen, thanks for notifying me. The issue should be fixed now. See Commons:Village_pump#Issues_with_templates_using_Wikidata for the full story. --Jarekt (talk) 13:03, 7 May 2020 (UTC)
Puducherry
[edit]The Puducherry link seems to be inconsistent. It looks to be referring to Category:Puducherry (union territory), not Category:Pondicherry the city. If so, then it should be redone so that Category:History of Puducherry is the right category instead of the red-linked Category:History of Pondicherry (which for the city is at Category:History of Pondicherry (city). -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:14, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- I'm correcting these stuff time to time. So be patient. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:35, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
Former states
[edit]@Sbb1413: I don't think there is a need to include the former states into this same template. The vast, vast majority of uses of this template is for current stuff and all you get is two extra lines that will be never used at places like Category:2005 in Kerala (although Daman and Diu could exist I guess). Why not keep it as two separate templates so that pages where the former states and territories are actually relevant? Anything prior to 1950 will be only former states and it gets ridiculous the other way. Ricky81682 (talk) 00:40, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
- The former states used to be a separate template. However, being inspired by the template {{Countries of the European Union}}, I had merged the two. I can undo the merging if the merger is causing inconvenience to people. Sbb1413 (he) (talk • contribs) 05:37, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
