Hi, can you make a Template:Flagmedalist, something like Template:FlagIOCmedalist for non-IOC events. I tried to do it myself but it's a little confusing ! a template like Template:Flagathlete would be perfect. thanks in advance. Mohsen1248 (talk) 22:21, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

Regarding consensus on use of "fantasy football flags". I challenge this conclusion thus making that consensus ineffective. I propose that we start taking as a very relevant practice from Italian wikipedia and adopt it also in English wikipedia. Kostun (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 17:14, 3 May 2011 (UTC).
Before ever daring to threat me again - you must first prove that there actually is consensus on Teams flag issue. Kostun (talk) 21:53, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
For Olympic pages such as this one: The "flag bearer" is connected to the Opening Ceremony, but for Pan American Games , it is not. I have no clue on how to connect it, I guess you do. Thanks. Intoronto1125TalkContributions 17:34, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello ! First, sorry for my late response to your question.
In Portugal, Brazil and other former portuguese colonies, the Cross of the Order of Christ Flag (File:Portuguese Discoveries and Empire Flag.svg) is immediately identified as a symbol of the Portuguese Discoveries and the Portuguese Empire. That's because it was used as the Portuguese naval ensign and as colonial flag, during the age of the Portuguese Discoveries and after. You can see references to it in the folowing links: Former Portuguese Naval Flags (in Portuguese), Portuguese Seaborne Empire Flags (in English) and Historical Flags of Brazil (in Portuguese). You can also see references to the flag and variants in some english Wikipedia articles like: Flag of Brazil#Previous flags, São Paulo (Flag of the city of São Paulo, based on the portuguese colonial one) and Flag of Madeira. In other languages Wikipedia you can see references to the flag in the folowing articles: de:Flagge Portugals#Flaggen der Kolonien, es:Bandera de Portugal#De 1425 a 1521 and pt:Anexo:Evolução da Bandeira Nacional de Portugal#De 1495 a 1521.
On the other side, the flags used in the articles and templates to symbolize the Portuguese Empire, are not especially associated with it, apart from the fact that they are old National Flags of Portugal. Also, this flag File:Flag Kingdom portugal.png was only used after 1830, when one of the major territories of the Portuguese Empire - Brazil - was no longer part of it.
Interestingly, to represent the Spanish Empire, it was used the Cross of Burgundy Flag, which was used by the Spaniards in a manner similar to the Cross of Christ Flag by the Portuguese. Jsobral (talk) 23:03, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

I'm hoping you can help; I am editing various pages that relate to the East Africa rugby union team, Kenya rugby union team, Uganda rugby union team and Tanzania rugby union team and have been able to use the rugby union flag icons East Africa,
Kenya,
Uganda and
Tanzania. However, as with South Africa, (

It seems File:Puerto rico national sport flag.PNG has been deleted, leaving the early Puerto Rico Olympic articles without a flag in their infobox (1948) and 1952) and I suspect causing redlinks on many of the sport and event articles. I have no idea on flags but I'm hoping you'll be able to fathom the whys and wherefores and see if there is anything we can do to replace those uses.

Hi, since you created the base article/medal table for 1952 Winter Olympics medal table, this is a notification to inform you that after prose expansion by myself and H1nkles, we've nominated it at WP:FLC. Strange Passerby (talk • cont) 03:40, 10 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Andrew, I don't quite understand what is going on with the flag redirects, many have ISO3166-1 2digit redirects (US, UK, EU etc.). If we are standardising on the 3 digit codes shouldn't we discard those redirects also?
Some of the articles I am working on have quite a few flags in them and at the moment they are mixed between the full name and then the 2 digit and 3 digit ISO codes... I was hoping not to have to change them all around.

Sorry about that - I assumed it was an oversight since all the other ones were in pixels. I can't believe I didn't think that there would be uses that had already used em in their parameters. My bad - sorry for not checking first since it was semi-protected. --Trödel 18:31, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Flags of Dominican Republic towns and regions is probably of interest to you. I've just blanked nommed everything in the Commons category, that should get rid of everything missed by Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2011 July 14#File:Flag of the Province of Barahona.JPG and 34 others. Its possible there are valid flags in there, but I cannot tell which came from MDRU08 (and are fake) - so help would be appreciated over on Commons. Thanks.--Nilfanion (talk) 19:25, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Andrwsc, would you please comment here regarding the usage of {{RankedMedalTable}} and its compatibly with WP:ACCESS, as comment of one user requires some major changes in this template, thanks and regards. — Bill william comptonTalk 04:52, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
You were responsible for adding the number of participants for each country for the 1904 Summer Olympics. You state in your edit summary, "add num. competitors per Mallon." Is there some sort of reference for this before I challenge/remove this information? Thanks for your help? BarkeepChat/$ 05:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Further to the {{flagu}} template you created following this discussion, I just noticed that Moldava is not catered for. Perhaps this is based on another template...
To illustrate using Spain:
Hey Andrwsc, this comment may be missed since the FLC has already been closed, pending the bot top-and-tail. Perhaps you'd be good enough to start a central thread at WP:ACCESS or similar to discuss your concern? The Rambling Man (talk) 20:44, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi Andrwsc, at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/2010 Asian Para Games medal table/archive1, you asked this question, but the discussion has been capped, so I'll try to answer you here.
“ | No, it wasn't. "Because MOS says so" is an utterly useless answer. The MOS gives "good" examples of tables without row headers, so it appears as though only column headers are necessary. But perhaps that's besides the point. I do understand the accessibility considerations described here, and I can see the utility to read the table column-wise per the example from RexxS. However, my question is whether or not the screen reader requirements depend on the <th> markup or is the scope declaration sufficient? I'm asking if the aesthetic effect of the table header can be decoupled from the semantic meaning. It really looks bad for a row header to appear in the middle of the table. Clearly the intent of the darker color for header cells is intended for the top-most row and the left-most column. Is there any way to satisfy the accessibility requirements without coloring the "Nation" column differently? Your suggestion to use the plainrowheaders class to remove the bold header text is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for, but with respect to cell color instead of font style. Should .wikitable.plainrowheaders in MediaWiki:Common.css also include background-color: #f9f9f9; ? Or should we add style="background:#f9f9f9" to each nation entry in the table? — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 04:08, 12 August 2011 (UTC) |
” |
The very first example of a table that MOS:DTT gives is this:
{| class="wikitable" |+ [caption text] |- ! scope="col" | [column header 1] ! scope="col" | [column header 2] ! scope="col" | [column header 3] |- ! scope="row" | [row header 1] | [normal cell 1,2] || [normal cell 1,3] |- ! scope="row" | [row header 2] | [normal cell 2,2] || [normal cell 2,3] ... |}
and it demonstrates the use of row headers when rendered. I'm sorry that the tutorial did not implicitly show that, but I've fixed that now.
I see that you accept that hearing "Gold, China (CHN), 185" is better than hearing "Gold, 185"? Your concern then, is whether we can ensure the former is heard without both TH and scope? The answer is no, for two reasons. First, different screen readers exist: some only understand TH; some only recognise scope; the best ones make use of both, but we maximise the usability of our table by marking up with both TD and scope. The second reason is that in HTML5 the scope attribute cannot be applied to TD, only to TH. I know we're not there yet, but there really is no point in writing markup that we know isn't going to work in the future. W3C had a reason for deprecating 'TD scope=' and it seems to have been because once a cell is identified as a header (column or row), there is little point in marking it up as TD.
I'm sorry that you feel the background colour as rendered in a wikitable is a problem. I find it advantageous to have a subtle indication of row headers, but I understand not everyone will agree with me. However, the consensus for styling row headers was thrashed out at Talk:Common.css MediaWiki talk:Common.css/Archive 12#some wikitable ideas and MediaWiki talk:Common.css/Archive 12#Bold row headers. I apologise for pointing you at a huge discussion, but if you read it you'll see that we were able to get agreement that plainrowheaders would make text left-aligned and normal weight (not bold), but the argument that people would object to a slightly darker grey background was not convincing enough. It should be clear that using inline styles is not a favoured solution, so until the case is made at Common.css to alter the background colour in class .plainrowheaders, we ought to stick with the consensus that the background is used to indicate a row header. Hope that helps, --RexxS (talk) 23:27, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

This information about the flag needs to be brought up at the the template because only administrators can edit the template, it is banned to edit to others. Administrators need to be informed and make the changes. Also, another user has informed me that earlier flag legislation made the off-centred flag official in 1935. The infobox's flagicon section needs to be updated by an administrator.--R-41 (talk) 15:15, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
Hey, I see you've edited this template (and cr) before and I'm not at all familiar with these kind of templates. Is it possible to add some codes for two other teams -- International XI women's cricket team, Young England women's cricket team as options. The latter would use the England flag while I'm not really sure what to do with the former (some generic globe or something?). cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 06:46, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
{{cr}}
for everything; just use {{flagicon|England}} [[Young England women's cricket team|England]]
for that team, and don't use any icon for the other. If you need alignment within a table, use {{noflag}}

Self-explanatory. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 21:28, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
I would like to thank you for your input. I found the confict in the article when I was reading over it , one point made it was a republic team , the other point it is all-island . Most of the sports bodies are all-island . The anomaly is that until several years after partition their was only one association representing these competitors . Now it is a choice of the competitor which team they choose the OCI team or team GB . I have included links that state a British passport holder has competed for Ireland at the Olympics and the Articles of Association of the OCI and affiliates that state all-island, a BBC article showing OCI representing all-island and a qoute from the charter to explain why Ireland could use the flag , emblem and anthem that they do . The facts seem lost on one editor , hopefully your points will help him add constructively to the article . I am trying to avoid an edit war , I may have to ask for admin to resolve the conflict , possible yourself with your knowledge of the Olympics and the Charter - if not could you point me at how to refer to admin if it goes that far . Thank you .Murry1975 (talk) 20:10, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
