Houthi flag

I'd appreciate some input at Talk:Operation_Prosperity_Guardian#Houthi_flag. Am I misinterpreting MOS:SOVEREIGNFLAG? Thanks in advance. Bondegezou (talk) 11:54, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

TOOMANY example is stale

@Randi Moth, Donald Albury, The Grid, and LaundryPizza03: Looks like this was brought up last spring by Randi, and one idea in that discussion was to make it a screenshot of an article representative of "too many icons". Is there one that springs to mind that I can go forward with making an example of for posterity? Or one we can archive through archive.org/WaybackMachine and use as a link instead of an internal permalink that will fail over time as templates are modified/changed? —Locke Coletc 00:34, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Images in navboxes

Would anyone like to comment about the appropriateness of images in navboxes at Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and navigation templates#Images in navboxes (again)? --woodensuperman 07:43, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

MOS:SOVEREIGNFLAG for Hong Kong

For Hong Kong, should  China or  Hong Kong be used? (example of context: List of tallest buildings) a455bcd9 (Antoine) (talk) 10:58, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The column says "Country", so people might be funny about it either way. What I would do for maximum flexibility and minimum clutter is change the column to "Polity" and use  Hong Kong. Remsense 11:46, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
