Someone signed up and use the USA flag, which was already taken. I also had trouble finding what flags were available. - Peregrine Fisher ( talk) 01:33, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- I got it to work for me, but I'm worried others may have problems. -

- I was concerned about this too, good points all. Maybe we can add a link to a category? Peregrine Fisher, as mentioned above, would you like to take over monitoring the flags page and giving editors the welcome banner?

- One way to find a {{ flagicon}} is to pick a country at Category:Country data templates and look at the flag info in the country data for that country. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 21:08, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion: Perhaps the flagicon thing might be changed to use icons identified by usernames in the form of something like [[File:Wikipedia-logo.png|link=User:Wtmitchell|28x28px]] (rendering
— hover the mouse over that icon), sizes to be 30px max (I got this from
Wikipedia:WikiCup/History/2010/Poster/Flags). I don't see the point of the requirement that icons be unique.

- it's the vestigial olympic spirit of nationalism, you could pick any flag with a WP image like
; i.e. make your own colors to fight for.

The original plan for this contest was for it to resemble the Wikicup. We seem to have moved away from that so I am wondering if the flags should still be used. They seem like more bother that what they're worth. J04n( talk page) 13:19, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, they're just weird.--
