This municipal flag list looks messy, and I see there has been debate about it before... Should we remove the list altogether in favour of a link? Say

Would that work better? 162.208.168.92 (talk) 23:56, 25 November 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

At the risk of being reverted, made some changes here to shorten the article and make it a bit more useful:

- Sections that have their own article are instead pointed to that article, instead of displaying every flag. Specifically, Flags of the lieutenant governors of Canada, and the ever-problematic municipal flags were instead pointed to List of city flags#Canada.

- I trimmed the university flags and organizational flags at the end. I don't see how they meet the definition of a Canadian flag.

It's not perfect, I would actually be in favour of splintering off more (ie. giving Indigenous flags, military flags, francophone flags their own article) but I think it helps make this list a bit more legible. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 18:25, 3 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@162.208.168.92: Hi. While I do think this might be a good idea, it isn't my input here that counts. You might want to contact the main editors of this group of articles, and ask for their ideas. Consensus is key in big decisions like these. Slykos (talk • contribs • rights) 16:29, 4 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

As the edits in question have indeed been reverted, I invite all editors to review the proposed update here and share your opinions. I believe that a list article should be concise, a starting point towards more detailed information, and listing every single flag on this page makes the article less useful. I also think that what is listed on the page currently includes examples of flags that, while connected in some way to Canada, are not Canadian flags.

Update Given the lack of objections, I have once again posted the format first suggested on Dec 3. One change is that the unofficial provincial flags have been moved to the bottom and merged with the table of unofficial national flags, this seems like a better place. 162.208.168.92 (talk) 18:50, 16 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Why not just group it together with the current indigenous flag section? the only one that needs to be seperated is the inuit one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IHeartVeronica (talk • contribs)

• While we're on that topic, the list of Indigenous flags is getting quite long. I've proposed to split it into its own list. 162 etc. (talk) 02:51, 10 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I dont necessarily disagree with that but there are probably a ton of future indigenous flags to be added so I say that the blackfoot section be incorporated into the current section. In the future im assuming an entire new article will need to be created to show all of the flags. IHeartVeronica

Because Blackfoots is a confederation of 4 nations (Kainai Nation, Piikani Nation, Siksika Nation and Piegan Blackfeet in USA) each has its own flag, and the first tablet contains entire nations (all Innu are represented by one flag). Tossing everything into one table can be confusing. I'm going to do a third table containing the flags of the Cree tribes (See: [1]).

@Arctic.gnome: You recently changed the description on this page for the Flag of Yukon to read:

A vertical tricolour triband of green, white, blue with the shield of the coat of arms of Yukon above a wreath of fireweed charged in the 3:2 pale

Previously it read:

A vertical tricolour triband of green, white, blue with the shield of the coat of arms of Yukon above a wreath of fireweed charged in the Canadian pale

The pale is not square and therefore I think you were correct to remove the term "Canadian pale". However, I have to ask if there is a standard interpretation when an ratio is applied to a pale? I could not find any other examples of this. In this case we have:

• A flag with a ratio of 1:2. I hope that is not being disputed.
• The width of the green and blue bars are both exactly 2⁄7 the length of the flag.
• The width of the white pale is exactly 3⁄7 the length of the flag.
• The pale itself has a width:height ratio of 6:7 (that may not be relavent except to say that it is not 1:1 or 2:3.

When comparing the width of the pale to the width of either coloured bar there is indeed a ratio of 3:2, but I am not entirely convinced this is what you were trying to imply. MapGrid (talk) 23:53, 15 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This new article was created a few months ago, but I don't really see the purpose of it. See WP:CFORK. 162 etc. (talk) 16:29, 21 March 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Since the monarch of Canada has changed, shouldn't the article also change as it currently says that Elizabeth II is still the queen. Airi (talk) 17:07, 2 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
