Template talk:Infobox French commune

Flag

With the French loving their flag and proudly brandishing it when they can even on food packaging, I believe it's appropriate to use the template {{flag|France}} for the Country, as it would reflect this ;) Synotia (talk) 11:08, 6 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, the use of flags in infoboxes is generally deprecated, see MOS:INFOBOXFLAG. The same guideline also says: Human geographic articles – for example, settlements and administrative subdivisions – may have flags of the country and first-level administrative subdivision in infoboxes., which would apply here. For some countries it is done, for many it isn't. Personally I wouldn't prefer it. Markussep Talk 09:34, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's a useful shortcut for the brain. In some Wikipedias like French, Spanish Wikipedia it is used even in biographies. I personally find that less important there, but for geographical, political, military stuff it is. Synotia (talk) 09:47, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I (respectfully) detest that deprecation; flags aren't distracting, they're a visual aid that make text more pleasant to read. I'd strongly support changing to {{flag|France}}, and I'll note that even that MOS doesn't discourage it. DFlhb (talk) 21:49, 28 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

False positives?

Hi! For some reason, pages that transclude this template, among other Infobox settlement derivatives, are included in Category:Pages using infobox settlement with image map1 but not image map. Could someone please fix this issue? I don't know what the problem is... - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 08:53, 25 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
