The Wisconsin statewide code requires ice barrier protection.
(4) Ice dam protection.
(a) Shingled or shake roofs that extend over a heated area of a dwelling or attached garage and that have a slope of 4:12 or less shall be provided with ice dam protection in the form of sheet metal or a product labeled as meeting the requirements of ASTM D 1970.
(b) The ice dam protection shall extend at least 30 inches up the roof slope from the roof edge and at least 12 inches up the roof slope beyond the inner face of the exterior wall.
See SPS 321.28 Weather protection for roofs.
An express requirement for drip-edge flashing was not located. However, the code requires manufacturer recommendations be followed. Drip-edge flashing can help a roof resist wind uplift forces and prevent moisture from reaching the roof sheathing. Therefore, if the instructions call for drip-edge flashing, a local official might interpret that as an enforceable requirement.
(3) Asphalt shingles.
(a) General.
1. Shingles that have a self-sealing adhesive strip shall include a sealant which has an average bond strength of at least 1.5 pounds per 3.75 inches of shingle width, at 32°F.
Note: The department will accept results of testing conducted in accordance with an approved test method for verifying compliance with the sealant uplift resistance required in this paragraph. Information on the applicable test method may be obtained from the department.
2. Each shingle package shall be labeled by the manufacturer to indicate conformance to the applicable ASTM standard for each type of shingle or the exception in par. (c).
3. Shingles shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
. . . .
(7) Flashing.
(a) General. Flashing shall be installed at the junction of chimneys and roofs, in all valleys, and around all roof openings.
(b) Flashing of open valleys.
1. Open valleys shall be flashed with at least No. 28 gauge corrosion-resistant sheet metal, 16 inches wide, or a layer of at least 50-pound roll roofing, 16 inches wide, placed over a layer of number 15 roofing underlayment.
2. Flashing sections shall be overlapped by at least 4 inches.
(c) Flashing of closed valleys. Where shingles are laced or woven over the valley, the valley shall be flashed with one of the following:
1. At least one layer of 50-pound roofing, at least 20 inches wide, over a layer of number 15 roofing underlayment.
2. A product labeled as meeting the requirements of ASTM D1970.
(d) Chimney flashing.
1. Chimneys shall be flashed and counter-flashed to a height of at least 6 inches.
2. Chimney crickets or saddles shall be installed where the upper side of a chimney is more than 30 inches wide on a sloping roof.
3. The intersection of the cricket and the chimney shall be flashed and counter-flashed to a height of at least 6 inches.
As example, we found many shingle manufacturer instructions that recommended drip edge and a few that did not expressly mention it.

Drip Edge Flashing: In accordance with 2015 International Building Code, Section 1507.2.9.3, and 2015 International Residential (Building) Code, Section R905.2.8.5, install non-corrosive, 26-gauge, sheet metal drip edge flashing (drip edge) along eave and rake edges.
Install drip edge with dimensions large enough to both position the top flange of the metal 2" (51 mm) back from the edge of the roof deck, and extend outward, down over the edge.
Apply drip edge first along the eaves, and once underlayment is in place, follow by flashing the rakes (drip edge installed atop the underlayment).
Secure with roofing nails, centered on the top flange at 8" (203 mm) to 10" (254 mm) on center, or per adopted local building code.
For the rake drip edge, start at the corner near the eave, and work your way up, lapping subsequent lengths
of flashing over the lower pieces by a minimum of 2" (51 mm). Be sure to overlap the eave drip edge, too.
