Replace the flag for the green variant with File:Green harp flag of Ireland.svg. The current flag isn't used on any other Wikipedia apart from in template form, its use on the 1930 British Empire Games page has been discussed and the consensus is that this requested file should be used in its place.

Done, but VEO15 please note, I was about to decline this as the outcome of a private discussion rather than community consensus until I stumbled across a mention of the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland#A flag question. Please have an eye to the validity of your discussion's outcome when you choose your discussion venue. Cabayi (talk) 22:06, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Remove:
flag alias-1937 = Flag of Ireland (WFB 2000).png
flag alias-2004 = Flag of Ireland (WFB 2004).gif
| var2 = 1937
| var3 = 2004
These lines will remove flags are just based on the shades used in pictures in different editions of the CIA World Factbook (you can see if you open the flag image) and not are official or even real changes to the flag used by Ireland, they should not be included and especially not linked to a specific year It will not produce errors from missing flags by pages that use this, as none do

Both are unused:

Done Again, now might be a good opportunity to get the spurious unused flags deleted. Cabayi (talk) 10:15, 12 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Make sure the hockey flag also shows up with the national indoor hockey team template as is currently in the national field hockey team template Justwagen (talk) 17:38, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Please link to the pages you are referring to, and tell us what change you would like to see. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:38, 22 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Remove Republic of Ireland links?[edit]

This template is used for "All of Ireland" organisations (mainly sports teams?) rather than those relating to the current Republic / Northern constituent parts, so should the links to the Republic be removed to prevent confusion? Spike 'em (talk) 10:13, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't sound like this template is the issue, the all island articles referencing it should be corrected instead. Cashew.wheel (talk) 11:02, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I may have been premature on my assessment of the relative usage of the 2 templates, but I think some tidying up is needed, as some of the uses here refer to the country and some to the island as a whole Spike 'em (talk) 11:29, 13 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've read the documentation, which makes it quite clear that the current behaviour is quite deliberate, so please ignore the above suggestion! Spike 'em (talk) 17:08, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
