Fatah
editHow does this work and why is it not working for 
Fatah or anything connected to them? Most other newsworthy Palestinian factions seem to work - e.g. 
- but not tree biggest. Does it pull a flag off the wiki page for a thing? Or is there a separate database? Does the flag on the page need to be a particular file format or size? Irtapil (talk) 13:43, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
- Same question asked and answered at Template talk:Flag § Fatah. Primefac (talk) 14:31, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

Since the names of several flag-related templates, including this one, have recently been changed, there are now a number of unnecessary redirects within this template. Pleae fix these as shown.
- flagicon/core --> flag icon/core
- flagdeco/core --> flag decoration/core
- flagdeco --> flag decoration

- Just quickly noting that this request is not strictly necessary as this is why redirects exist. Primefac (talk) 08:31, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
- True, but this is a heavily used template so avoiding an unnecessary redirect has significant benefit. Colonies Chris (talk) 09:56, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Completed – per above and WP:BRINT. Only "flagicon/core" and "flagicon" were found in this template, no flagdeco. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. put'er there 00:22, 3 June 2024 (UTC)
Afghanistan
editI propose to show an alternative flag of Afghanistan, the one of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (
), which is the government accepted by the UN. Can this be made accessible as {{AFG-IRA}}, which is now only available under {{flag icon|Islamic Republic of Afghanistan}} and {{flag icon|AFG|2013}}. Saippuakauppias ⇄ 00:58, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
