Welcome to the Slovakia Municipality task force of WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology.

Scope

Found on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons, each of the 2,891 municipalities, towns, and cities in Slovakia has a "unique" flag to go with it. (There are various repeats, it's bound to happen with only 6 colors and 10 stripes)

Flag File Convention

Flags are uploaded in SVG format and follow the naming convention of [city name]-[district name]-flag.svg
Flags are recommended to have a black outline in order to help define the edges of the flags.
Flags are displayed horizontally.

Municipal Flag Design

Flags will have a 2:3 aspect ratio

Flags will use the following six colors:

Red	Green	Blue	Yellow	White	Black
#e3000b	#006239	#0158a0	#feed01	#ffffff	#000000

Flags will have a Swallowtail shape, with either two tails or three tails. Two tailed flags are often reserved for a district's center town or large cities. The tails will be placed horizontally at 2/3 of the distance, they will usually be placed vertically between the 2nd and 3rd stripes though this varies often.

Bratislava, a large city, has 2 tails
Kráľovce-Krnišov, a village of 130 people, has 3 tails

Flags will either have the design of 1-10 horizontal stripes or an X-pattern¹, some rare flags will also have vertical stripes as well. The number of stripes is determined by the size of the smallest stripe, any stripe on the flag larger than that is treated as multiple smaller stripes of the same color next to each other.

Nitra, which technically is 1 stripe
Bátovce, 2 stripes
Donovaly, 3 stripes
Kapušany, 4 stripes
Boťany, 5 stripes
Ruská Bystrá, 6 stripes
Trnávka, 7 stripes
Somotor, 8 stripes
Dolné Saliby, 9 stripes
Rudňany, 10 stripes
Liptovský Hrádok, an X-flag
Podhradie, another X-flag
Levoča, 3 horizontal stripes and 2 vertical stripes

^{1. This rule, as is the rule of rules, will sometime be broken such as with Trnava and Žilina.}

In general, FotW takes priority over the registry as the former is updated far more often than the latter. The city's official website takes priority over both.
