Template talk:Provinces and territories of Canada

message: I have removed the flags because I seriously believe they make the template way too big. Not only is it the only footer template with them (Consistency anyone?), but it is also unnecessarily bigger than similar templates that manage to have much more links like ,  and becomes as big as , which is a bit ridiculous.

*The provincial and territorial flags appear on each province/territory's page. They may be pretty, but they do make the template big, so I do not see the need for them here. Why flags and not coats of arms, provincial flowers, provincial birds, pictures of the premiers, or provincial mottoes? Ground Zero 15:05, 15 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, m'y main question is "Why images at all". I see no need to differenciate this template from countless [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Countries/Templates/Navbox
* The flags are a good inclusion, as they enhance the template significantly. Astrotrain 18:14, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
**So having expressed your preference, instead of waiting until the issue has been settled here on the talk page, you've just decided to go ahead and revert. User:Circeus, User:Stormscape and I agree with the deletion, and so far, you, alone, are opposed. I'll just undo your work to give other members of the community a chance to weigh in. If other active editors (no sock puppets, please) are in favour of keeping the flags, then we'll put them back in. Ground Zero 18:19, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

text: I should add that this argument fallacious, consifering you originally added the flags in the first place. Circeus 20:16, July 15, 2005 (UTC)
When you added them in April, you made the template completely unreadable until another user fixed it by lining everything up. --Stormscape 08:18, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Flags too much 

message: * How about going back to the 20px version with flags- this was the position before and was generally accepted. I cannot see comments by 11 people opposing flags. The extra information provided by the inclusion of the flags significantly improves the articles on which the template is placed, and gives an extra link to the flag pages of the respective provinces/territories. The information is not replecated elsewhere, and placing it on the template at the bottom of the page is an excellent way of presenting the information. Remember that Wikiepdia is an encyclopedia- providing information is the purpose of articles- and a flag version of this template goes someway to achieving this. I am perplexed by the opposition by a tiny few against the flag enhanced template- it works well on other templates such as the UK, Channel Islands and several military templates.

**Honestly, I proposed that version two weeks ago in a futile attempt to stop the revert warring. Since it didn't work, we might as well have it out and pick the best version of the template. I think it does more harm than good to have the flags on this template for links to the provinces of Canada. It clutters it unnecessarily and each province's article should already have a picture of its flag. If the flags version belongs anywhere, it belongs on , where the information in question is flags. My vote is no flags. DoubleBlue (Talk) 12:21, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: 20px flag version

message: I reverted the template because an image of a penis being masturbated was inserted. Also, the Canadian flag was vandalized with an image of a penis covered in defication. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 04:22, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  August 2 revert 

message: I am currently in the beginings of expanding the defunct District of Keewatin territory page. I was going to add the defunct territory under the territories section of the template, after seeing the contentious debate here, I thought I better ask and see if anyone thinks this is a good idea. --Cloveious 22:21, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The  templates, unfortunately, only list the current subdivisions,for the most part,so adding the District of Keewatin would probably be inappropiate. The question is completely unrelated to the debate above, which relates to whether flagsought to be used on the template. Circeus 23:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
