1912 variant

I would like to request a 1912 variant of the flag. As in the Philippine national football team article, the biggest win came in 1917, which is in the period of 1912-1919 when the 48 star flag was used. Banana Fingers (talk) 07:14, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Template:Country data Second Philippine Republic

Could you put this template on the "related" countries, please? And could you see what's wrong with this (Second Republic) template, please? Thank you.Faunas (talk) 10:47, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

Edit request on 4 June 2013

Needs to be majorly updated. Please check the flag article

Label	Image	File
1535		Flag of Cross of Burgundy.svg
1821		Flag of Spain (1785-1873 and 1875-1931).svg
1873		Flag of the First Spanish Republic.svg
1875		Flag of Spain (1785-1873 and 1875-1931).svg
Aguinaldo		Philippines Flag Original.svg
1898		Flag of the United States (1896-1908).svg
1908		US flag 46 stars.svg
1912		US flag 48 stars.svg
1919		Flag of the Philippines (1919-1936).svg
1936		Flag of the Philippines (navy blue).svg
1985		Flag of the Philippines (light blue).svg
1986		Flag of the Philippines (navy blue).svg

Also articles currently using the current 1898 label should adopt the Aguinaldo label (to differentiate Aguinaldo's revolutionary flag from the American flag). The current 1901 label is inaccurate because that flag was adopted and used in the Philippines by 1898 (ie raising of the flag on Fort Santiago on August 13, 1898) The current articles using the 1919 label should adopt the new 1936 label where appropriate because a different flag existed before 1936 (articles based between 1919 and 1936 should retain the 1919 label). The current 1981 label is incorrect and should be 1985 when it was actually used.

A link should also be added for Template:Country data Second Philippine Republic

Hi User 50. I've added your requested changes to the sandbox. I'm a little concerned that changing the aliases might unduly break existing articles, though. Do you know how many articles would be affected, and would you be willing to go through and fix them? Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 10:28, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Few articles use the 1981 label, they can easily be changed to 1985. I don't think articles using the current 1919 label would be majorly affected as the flag that will now occupy that label looks similar to the one currently being used, and can be gradually replaced with either the 1936 or 1986 label. For now, let's leave the current 1898 and 1901 labels (to be replaced with Aguinaldo and 1898 later). The rest (1535, 1821, 1873, 1875, 1908, 1912, 1936, 1986) can be added with no problems. --User ⁵⁰ 13:06, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Partly done: Sorry for the delay in getting round to this. I had a look at the transclusion count for this template, and it has about 25,000 transclusions, which I thought was too much to just remove some of the variant parameter names. Instead, I've added only the variants where there was no name overlap. For the proposed variant names where there was an overlap (1898, 1901, 1919, and 1981), I have configured the template to add the transcluded pages to Category:Country data Philippines transclusions with obsolete parameters. I considered adding these variants with different names, but that seemed a bit too messy, as we want to change the names eventually. Instead, I think the best procedure would be as follows:

1. Allow some time for the changes for the category to filter through the system. Sometimes the job queue can be very slow, so this might take a couple of weeks.
2. Update all the pages in the category to use the correct variant names.
3. Once the category is empty, file another protected edit request here to add the new, correct values for the variant names and to remove the template code that adds the pages to the tracking category.

With this procedure, we will be able to add all the variant names that you proposed without making any unwanted changes to article content. However, it will take a little time, and require some work on your part. By the way, this would be a task well-suited to AutoWikiBrowser. Leave me a message on my talk page if you would like access to it. Best — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 12:49, 26 June 2013 (UTC)

Edit request on 2 August 2013; Completing above request

Update the 1898 label, remove the 1901 label, update the 1919 label, and remove the 1981 label.

Label	Image	File
1898		Flag of the United States (1896-1908).svg
1919		Flag of the Philippines (1919-1936).svg

Also the related templates should contain, in order:

• First Philippine Republic
• Philippine Commonwealth
• Second Philippine Republic

Hi again User 50. I notice that there are still quite a few entries in Category:Country data Philippines transclusions with obsolete parameters - is this on purpose? — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 10:26, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, they have the 1919 label which is accurate based on the years. User ⁵⁰ 10:28, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Done. The 1901 and 1981 aliases are still tracked in the tracking category for now. After the changes have filtered through the system and we are sure there are no transclusions left using them, we can remove the tracking category code from the template too. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 02:46, 5 August 2013 (UTC)

Category:Country data Philippines transclusions with obsolete parameters

Is this tracking category still necessary? It is currently empty except for one user page (User:Wifishark/Editing User:Wifishark/Philippines national football team). SiBr₄ (talk) 23:02, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Good point, I had forgotten about this. I've fixed that last transclusion, removed the tracking category from the template and deleted the category page. — Mr. Stradivarius ^{♪ talk ♪} 03:58, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Aguinaldo flag

Please update the Aguinaldo flag (First Philippine Republic Flag) to this . This is the design of the flag used by Emilio Aguinaldo according to his heirs--Hariboneagle927 (talk) 16:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Please add "age" parameter into basketball alias, also add this line | altvar = {{{altvar|}}} and also remove that weird line of flag-alias-basketball. Thanks. Maiō T. (talk) 19:49, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

@Wbm1058: Thank you for your two edits. However, that first one of three (see above) is also required. Here is the correct code:
| link alias-basketball = Philippines {{{mw|men's}}} national {{{age|}}} basketball team

Oh, sorry. I neglected to check this talk page when I was fumbling around trying to figure out how to fix this. I could have saved myself some time if it occurred to me to check here first! wbm1058 (talk) 22:07, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Done. – In the future, you might get a faster response if you suggest copying the changes you tested in the Template:Country data Philippines/sandbox. Thanks, wbm1058 (talk) 22:23, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

• Proposed updated list added for reference.
• Such changes have been suggested in light of updated names, years of use and details to the exact shade of blue that have been used throughout the country's history. Current files shown on this list are no longer used on major wikipedia articles and has been supplanted by new svg. files that have since taken its place. The current list could use a fresh update to reflect that so as to achieve uniformity. HispanoFilipino1521 (talk) 11:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC) HispanoFilipino1521 (talk) 11:37, 24 August 2021 (UTC)

 Administrator note I have requested comments at Wikipedia talk:Tambayan Philippines — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 08:49, 6 September 2021 (UTC)

Per this graphic

• 1) seems a correct change
• 2) replacement suggested here doesn't appear to be a file that exists
• 3) doesn't seem correct from just eyeing it, although it's a small difference
• 4) same as 3
• 5) a good idea in principle although the flag doesn't match the graphic
