Template talk:Commonwealth realms

message: Should the flag displayed really be the English royal Ensign? All of the other Commonwealth Realms have their own royal ensigns.  I know it's a bit difficult to work out *what* flag to put there, but still. . . Slac speak up! 21:05, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: *If this template is not going to appear on the articles for the Commonwealth Realms, I feel there is no point in having it.  I'm inclined to nominate it on TfD, so that a consensus can develop over whether or not it should be kept.  If it is to be kept, it should plainly appear in the articles.  But there's no point in adding it against the wishes of the editors of the articles in question. Slac speak up! 22:57, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: The placement of this template in country articles has caused considerable disquiet, especially with regards to Australia and Canada. Testament to this fact is the breakdown of a never-begun discussion, and the continuing "edit wars" betwixt users  Astrotrain and SimonP. I unwittingly became embroiled in an issue I didn't imagine would be so large, and that I was oblivious to, until Clarkk caught me up. To make my views clear, I dislike the proliferation of templates on country articles for reasons of aesthetics and practitibility. The "Commonwealth Realms" template, I think, could be a useful template if it were placed in an article of more direct relevance. Such placement could be in either "Queen of..."/"*Country* monarchy" or "Government of...". So the question I would like to propose, is not whether the template should be deleted but what it should link to. Thoughts?--Cyberjunkie 06:04, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, where should this discussion be carried out? At present, it is spread over numerous user and country article pages, which is hardly condusive to discussion. I seen some suggestions of continuing talk to WikiProject Countries, but the only discussion there really is about "Commonwealth of Nations". Please notify me if a single location is 'out there'.--Cyberjunkie 06:08, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

text: Not really, because it still enlarges the size of the article overall. And the United States article has only done this once, and contains only three templates, one of which (Related Topics) is standard. Besides, in placing the politics template under the politics section of the article, the editors at United States are proving the point that templates should be placed where relevant - and that is precisely what needs to be sorted out with this template.--Cyberjunkie 03:33, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Relevancy/Appropriate placement

message: Seeing as how Wikipedia basically becomes more advanced every month and we can now "hide" or "show" template contents (especially for really large templates), why not create a Commonwealth template with all the countries of the Commonwealth in it (not just the Commonwealth Realms or Commonwealth Republics)? Also was there ever such a template to begin with? 208.138.38.88 04:58, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Technically since the United Kingdom's monarchies were merged, wouldn't it be one monarchy represented in various separate kingdoms? As opposed to multiple monarchies? CaribDigita (talk) 06:33, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
