Flag not producing correctly

Hi all. This template appears to be producing an all white flag. . Can someone have a look at this; as it's beyond my pay grade! Cheers Rangasyd (talk) 12:36, 13 September 2019 (UTC)

Double-tailed flag

Moved from Template talk:Flag

--Zzalpha (talk) 04:48, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Please remove the 1562 double-tailed flag. There is no credible support that there was a standardized flag at this time. Nor is there any conclusive evidence that it was double-tailed. This claim has stood uncontested at flag of Sweden for several years now, but it actually had not support in references. I just removed the claim since I had tagged it as {{or}} since May and raised the issue on the talkpage.

I've tracked the 1562 variant to see if any pages use it. Template talk:Country data Sweden is actually a better place for a request like this; to get attention from template editors you can use the {{TPER}} template. SiBr₄ (talk) 21:18, 15 August 2014 (UTC)

Ah. Thanks for the hint.

The tracking category shows the variant is used in at least 170 pages (there may be more due to the job queue). If {{flag}} is used with a non-existing variant, the main flag (in this case File:Flag of Sweden.svg) is used instead. I think that is OK? SiBr₄ (talk) 10:59, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

That seems like the best solution, yes.

 Done: Commented the variant out. SiBr₄ (talk) 12:51, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

No isen't done still wrongly in use in Peace of Lund a fantasy Swedish flag is used, Danish is correct (the two tailed Danish stands for the government of Denmark, not just the king/army), but question is if it is not The regular Danish that should be used?.

This template is not consistent to the English article of the subject:

Flag_of_Sweden

The two tailed flag were short experimental in the past, no official support.

There are two types in all eras:

• Triple tailed for the king (and as such the military) Flag_of_Sweden#Triple-tailed_flag officially from 1663
• The rectangular for all others

Three eras:

• From 1906 lighter blue
• Before 1905 darker blue

There are a number of extensions like

• Until 1905 with union symbols (OK in the template from 1815-1905
• These were extensions (normally not used in Norway, but by right wing Swedes)

There are no correct Swedish template flags before 1906 (1815).

Instruct how to do it and I update the template of Swedish flags. Zzalpha (talk) 18:58, 28 December 2022 (UTC)

1905–1906

I'd like to request that File:Flag of Sweden (pre-1906).svg be added as a parameter for the period of 1 November 1905–21 June 1906. I would suggest a parameter name of 1905. The union mark present in File:Swedish civil ensign (1844–1905).svg was removed as of 1 November 1905 to become File:Flag of Sweden (pre-1906).svg, and remained this way until the colour change on 22 June 1906.

Template-protected edit request on 2 March 2026

The coast guard template is lacking data; in line with the other country templates (such as Germany and Norway), I would like to ask the following additions:

| flag alias-coast guard = Swedish Coast Guard racing stripe.svg
| link alias-coast guard = Swedish Coast Guard

Why is Norway included as a related template? Should probably be removed. FrinkMan (talk) 05:08, 27 June 2026 (UTC)

To editor Illegitimate Barrister: I need your input on editor FrinkMan's question. In your opinion, should Norway be included or removed? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 06:35, 28 June 2026 (UTC)

Okay then, and  done. P.I. Ellsworth , ed. – welcome! – 06:40, 30 June 2026 (UTC)
