Please add | flag alias-football = Flag of Bolivia (state).svg and | altvar = {{{altvar|}}} so the flag used by FIFA (confirmed here) is able to be used for football templates. Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 02:50, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Sandbox

Hello! Can you create a sandbox regarding this template. Also with colonial flags under the Spanish reign.

.

Yours sincerely, Sondre --62.73.207.204 (talk) 12:56, 30 May 2021 (UTC)

Hello Sondre, consider creating an account instead. Once you are autoconfirmed (which is not hard), you are free to create the sandbox yourself. ◢  Ganbaruby!  (talk) 08:01, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 9 September 2021

I'd like to propose these changes to the page for the different flags used in different periods of time including today that are missing. Like the country data page for Peru, there's several flags missing which would be useful and should be added here. Any mistakes present here I apologize for in advance.

Proposed code

{{ {{{1<noinclude>|country showdata</noinclude>}}}
| alias = Bolivia
| flag alias = Flag of Bolivia.svg
| flag alias-spain = Flag of Cross of Burgundy.svg
| flag alias-1825 = State flag of Bolivia (1825-1826).svg
| flag alias-1825a = Civil flag of Bolivia (1825-1826).svg
| flag alias-1831 = Flag of Bolivia (state, 1826-1851).svg
| flag alias-1831a = Flag of Bolivia (1826-1851).svg
| flag alias-confederation = Flag of the Peru-Bolivian Confederation.svg
| flag alias-wiphala = Banner of the Qulla Suyu.svg
| flag alias-naval old = Naval Ensign of Bolivia (1966-2013).svg
| flag alias-patuju = Bandera de la flor de patujú.svg
| flag alias-state =  Bandera de Bolivia (Estado).svg
| flag alias-naval jack = Naval Jack of Bolivia.svg
| flag alias-army = Flag of Bolivia (military).svg
| link alias-army = Bolivian Army
| flag alias-naval= Naval Ensign of Bolivia.svg
| link alias-naval = Bolivian Naval Force
| flag alias-air force= Flag of Bolivia (military).svg
| link alias-air force = Bolivian Air Force
| size = {{{size|}}}
| name = {{{name|}}}
| altlink = {{{altlink|}}}
| variant = {{{variant|}}}
<noinclude>
| var1 = spain
| var2 = 1825
| var3 = 1825a
| var4 = 1831
| var5 = 1831a
| var6 = confederation
| var7 = wiphala
| var8 = naval old

To editor 180app:  done, and as with the Peru template, a Bolivia sandbox has been created for future suggestions. P.I. Ellsworth - ed. ^put'r there 04:02, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

To editor Paine Ellsworth: Thank you very much! You're a life saver. :D 180app (talk) 04:04, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

It's my pleasure! Paine  04:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

To editor 180app: curious about the significant difference between File:Bandera de Bolivia (Estado).svg and File:Flag of Bolivia (state).svg. Do you know the story behind that difference? One reason that I ask is because the "football" variant still uses the "(state)" flag (wonder if it should also be changed to the "(Estado)" flag?). P.I. Ellsworth - ed. ^put'r there 08:28, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

To editor Paine Ellsworth: They do appear to be very similar, if not the same. Perhaps it should be brought up on their respective talk pages unless there is a reliable source differentiating the two of them. 180app (talk) 09:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Could someone change the default flag back to the civil flag, please? August-54 (talk) 11:31, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Edit request 20 October 2023

I would like to request that the file for |flag alias-football= be changed to Flag of Bolivia.svg. Use of a state flag for non-governmental purposes when there is a separate civil flag is improper, and FIFA uses the civil flag in match reports such as this one from 2026 World Cup qualifying: BOL 0–3 ARG. This request would change the output for {{fb|BOL}} and all other association football templates from Bolivia to Bolivia. I forced the state and civil flags to preserve the differences between the two should the request be approved.— Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 02:11, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Also, I know the flag was changed a few years ago when FIFA started using the state flag, but it has been reverted back to the civil flag at the same source from 2018. See here.— Jkudlick ⚓ (talk) 02:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

 Completed. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 02:39, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

I have restored the state flag, the under-17 team played under the flag at the 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup. For proof see here. S.A. Julio (talk) 17:55, 12 November 2025 (UTC)

Change default flag to the civil flag

Ruditaly has pointed out that the default flag here is the state flag, but the civil flag—which has no coat of arms in the middle—is more commonly used. I'm unsure whether or not that is true—it's the bigger one in the infobox of Flag of Bolivia and the only one in Bolivia but if you google "flag of Bolivia" all you find is the one with the coat of arms, including Encyclopaedia Britannica. Thoughts?

Wikiproject Bolivia notified. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 21:52, 8 July 2024 (UTC)

It seems that general preference on Wikipedia is to use the civil flag for all countries. From personal experience, I see the state flag with the coat of arms waving more often in Bolivia. Granted, that's mostly over government buildings or state-organized parades and celebrations. I'm ambivalent either way. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 00:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, Ruditaly. I think I'll change it then, to put it in line with the rest of the site. Doing... Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 20:27, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

 Done. I don't check Wikipedia much at the moment, so if there's any problems email me or ping me on Discord. Snowmanonahoe (talk · contribs · typos) 20:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
