Fiji has been ejected since 2006 but it is still not deleted at the template--87.96.137.18 (talk) 01:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

{{editprotected}} Please remove the unnecessary background colour background:#ddf; from the titlestyle line. It is not consistent with most of the other country templates, which use the default colour. Also, it seems Fiji should be removed according to the above. –Pomte 21:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Background color removed. Fiji has been kept (and Pakistan re-added) since our article says that suspended members are still considered members of the organization. If someone really wanted to, I guess they could suggest making a new section for suspended members. --- RockMFR 00:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

{{editprotected}} Hi. Please replace the current code with the following. It moves the flag to the titlebar and reformats the template into two sections, thereby using space more efficiently (esp. for the dependencies). It also implements the more-widely compatible {{nowrap begin}}..{{·w}}..{{nowrap end}} linewrap handling (with corresponding liststyling) for the lists of links.

{{Navbox with collapsible sections

Protection reduced and documentation moved to a /doc subpage. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 21:56, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Fiji is still legally a member state of the Commonwealth, as suspension does NOT terminate a country's membership. - (203.211.71.211 (talk) 08:22, 8 October 2013 (UTC))

The Gambia's name needs to be removed from the template of member states, as it withdrew from the Commonwealth early last week, thanks to The Gambia's nutcase dictator, Yahya Jammeh. - (203.211.71.211 (talk) 08:22, 8 October 2013 (UTC))

Please add The Gambia, which should be between Fiji and Ghana, as The Gambia has returned to the Commonwealth as from 8 February 2018. - (101.98.104.241 (talk) 17:46, 9 February 2018 (UTC))
