The Ulster banner is not the flag of Northern Ireland, and flags are not neededin this template.--padraig 16:46, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This template is still protected, which is really frustrating to me as a researcher (as opposed to an editor) in this instance. Can we not look at a way forwards here?

How about navigation templates for counties or districts? This approach is used by some English articles (like at the bottom of Blackburn article) - nulifying the need for a national flag regardless of standpoint, and allowing more settlement and topic articles to be linked.

There is no need for a flag in this template, and it certainly shouldn't have a un-offical flag that has not represented Northern Ireland in any fashion since 1973, and is not recognised by either the British Government or the Northern Ireland Executive.--padraig 01:16, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On another issue can anyone else get this template to show as it doesn't for me.--padraig 01:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree on the flag issue - but I'm trying to suggest a way forwards. The template does not show for me too, and I presume that has something to do with the protection status. Jza84 02:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
