message: Since the UK line includes the Royal Standard, wouldn't it be helpful to somehow include the "Lion Rampant"? (See Royal Standard of Scotland and Flag of Scotland.) I'm not making any kind of nationalist point; it just seems an obvious flag which people might want to know about, and a little inconsistent that it's not included, since it is still in current use at official Royal residences, albeit when the monarch is not there. – Kieran T (talk) 14:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I've added a new section for royal flags. The Union Flag is already mentioned in the UK section and NI can go in the Home Nations section. Astrotrain 11:43, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Ulster banner can't go in the home nations as it not a current flag, so it either goes back in the Historicl section or its removed.--padraig 12:26, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It doesn't need to be an official flag- this is a flag template so it is acceptable to use unofficial flags if needed, like the England flag does. Astrotrain 12:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

text:  It quite clearly gave the date of its time as the official flag in brackets. I think padraig has made it quite clear he does not care about neutrality but rather about pushing his own POV. Since the flag lost its official status it carries the same status as England's flag (ie, the unofficial flag of a region of the UK) Biofoundationsoflanguage 12:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Biofoundationsoflanguage, I have no problem with the template being restored to include the Ulster Banner as it was in the Historical section where it belonged with the dates, but I do have a problem with trying to protray the banner as a current home nation flag which it is not that is WP:OR and WP:POV.--padraig 13:00, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Its official status is historical, its use is not. Its use is the same as any other of the flags of the UK home nations which is current. Biofoundationsoflanguage 13:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No your incorrect the use of the other home nation flags are recognised by the British Government, the Ulster banners use isn't, for you to claim otherwise requires you to produce Sources to prove that, failure to do so is WP:OR and WP:POV.--padraig 13:46, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: None of them are 'official'. Biofoundationsoflanguage 13:57, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The others are recognised, the British Government just dosen't legisate on there useage or size, as has been pointed out in the section above which gives the British governments view on flag usage.--padraig 14:02, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  You'd do well to define 'recognised' for the purposes of the debate. That said, however, unlike the law I don't believe actions of HM Government in the UK can be said to have some sort of peremptory authority in arguments of this sort. --Breadandcheese 14:13, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: New Section- Royal

message: I'm requesting that this template be converted from  (which was deprecated) to .  All that needs to be done is to delete the word "generic" from the template call, and to delete the line "|style = text-align:left" (as this is the default behaviour in Navbox).

thread_title:  Fix Link 

message: I couldn't care less about displaying the UB on this template or not, but doesn't having the historical section make it appear that NI was only a Home Nation between 1953 and 1972? Obviously not to us, but to a reader who knows nothing about the subject it would. Stu ’Bout ye! 08:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC
:I don't think it gives that impression as its a template on flags, but one way to sort that is to add a Link to Northern Ireland in the Home Nation section without any flag, and leave the Ulster Banner in the Historical section for the period 1953-72.--Padraig 12:52, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I was wondering if i could request the inclusion of the Irish Green Ensign on the page. It's a derivative of the Blue Ensign, and is related to them. I would have included it myself, but i see the page has been protected from editing. RingtailedFox • Talk • Contribs 03:45, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Green Ensign 

message: Given the Union Flag is made up of a combination of three flags, the template is surely somewhat incomplete without reference to the Cross of Saint Patrick. Given that the former official Ulster Banner appears under the heading "Historical", would it be possible to include the flag used to represent the former Kingdom of Ireland as incorporated into the Union Flag, which, after all, has continued to be represented in this way despite the creation of the Republic of Ireland? (A bit of an anomaly IMHO, but there you go). This would at least give the reader a visual indication as to the three components of the Union Flag, one of which is currently absent despite the historical significance of it.
Also, the Royal Standard of England appears under the "Royal" heading. As far as I'm aware, the only current use associated with this flag in its own right is that by the Duchy of Lancaster, however, that version is defaced with a label of three points. Does the version shown in the template continue to be used officially in any capacity? If the answer, as I suspect, is no, then its status is equal to that of the golden harp on a blue field as it appears in the Royal standard of the UK. Should the former Irish standard therefore not also appear? 
Given that there are noteable absences in the breakdown of the three component parts of both the Union Flag and Royal Standard, which despite political changes in these isles have remain unaltered since their respective introductions in 1801 and 1837, I'd like to propose that the template be edited to that version shown below so as to include all the elements of the flags as we see them today.Endrick Shellycoat 00:15, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Something seems to have screwed up the formatting of this template so that it overflows beyond the right-hand margin of a page on which it is transcluded, and needs a scroll to the right to see the full content.  Can someone have a look at it please? - David Biddulph (talk) 11:26, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
