Talk:Flag

I have info for links to most larger flags' forums that I can add to the end of flag entries as External Links if it seems appropriate. --Guppymomma 23:01, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Silver Dawn has a big list of flag forums too, so any that you can't get hold of we might have --Featherfin

I'll apologize in advance for all the flags I left off. I didn't even try to list flags on oceans other than Midnight. Add flags as you like - it's a wiki, after all. --Feegle

Whew. Lotsa stuff there, man. About as much as Carpentry. --Ihope 20:57, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Did we want a listing of the historical flags from Azure if they were there? I don't know enough to write such a thing or if they existed, but I'm sure someone one. --Lessah of Midnight 23:45, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The problem with these flag pages is that they need to be updated by the respective flag members. I would love to see these head toward simply history pages. Unfortunately the flag tracker is down, but linking to that for current info (via templates? hmm....) would be ideal. --Callistan 07:58, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've tinkered a little with the flag pages, adding historical ones and so on. --Featherfin

What makes one flag "notable" and "worth" of listing here? Have participated in a blockade? And yes, I think the flag pages really don't need to say much more than history. --VPeric


 * I'd guess that flags with some sort of noticeable history would be what's desired. That would include things like being present/previous island holders, being part of some giant war thingee, supporter of long running or large events.  At least that's my take on it.  I'm sure there will be other flags that get listed just because someone with them bothers to come play wiki...  --Guppymomma 15:46, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Using Categories rather than manually adding flags
I've created a category Flag, and a couple Flag: subcategories. This will automatically link any new flag sites (as well as alphebetize!) rather than relying on manually editing a list.

There is one issue, that all these phantom links aren't added to a Category... once added, they're no longer phantoms, and don't show up in Special:Wantedpages. I'm not sure that's a terrible thing, so I'll make categorized stubs for those flags already linked unless there's good reason not too. --Callistan 10:47, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
