On the use of the state flag and replacement with army flag, naval jack and racing stripe

Norwegian Army Flag

Naval Jack

State flag War flag State ensign Naval ensign

Racing stripe

I'm writing this partly as a description and partly as an edit request. I don't anticipate objections, but that doesn't mean there can't be. Just to be safe I've set it on a timer. (At least I think it should work.)

Currently the army alias displays the correct, official War flag. However, the army has its own unique flag. Judging by Template:Army the plain army-alias flag should be replaced, and the war flag should be listed as the war variant of the army/Norwegian flag.

Change |flag alias-army = Flag of Norway, state.svg
         to |flag alias-army = Flag of the Norwegian Army.svg
And add|flag alias-war = Flag of Norway, state.svg
             |link alias-war = Norwegian Armed Forces
             |border-war =
And       |var6 = war
And       |redir2 = NO
             |redir3 = Norge

The flag aliases naval, navy and coast guard are all currently using the naval ensign, which in this case is the same as the state flag. I haven't found any official unique flags for the Royal Norwegian Navy, or the Norwegian Coast Guard. However, according to WikiProject Flag Template (which also has a relevant discussion), either naval or navy (it's difficult to tell) can be declared with the naval jack in this case. As I can't make sense of which one to change, I hope the template editor knows which one should be the naval ensign and which one should be the naval jack.

Change |flag alias-navy = Flag of Norway, state.svg
         or |flag alias-naval = Flag of Norway, state.svg
         to                                     Naval Jack of Norway.svg

And finally, changing the coast guard file from the naval ensign to their racing stripe.

Change |flag alias-coast guard = Flag of Norway, state.svg
         to |flag alias-coast guard = Norwegian Coast Guard Racing Stripe.svg

Edited to fix two image links and to ping Paine Ellsworth, as I'm not sure my automated attempt has been listed properly. BucketOfSquirrels (talk) 13:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)

To editor BucketOfSquirrels: it does appear that your edit request has been listed properly in the category. After working with these CD templates for a long time, I've found that more often than not, the Naval and Navy flags are the same; however, sometimes when there is a Naval jack, it is used with the Naval template. So we can try that and see how it "flies". Thank you so much for your edits! P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 08:54, 5 April 2023 (UTC)

To editor BucketOfSquirrels: was unable to add the NO redirect, because it is already in use for another CD template, Northern Ontario. All your other edits have been added. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 09:21, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
