For some reason {{flag|Russian Empire}} doesn't work anymore properly in articles. Flag doesn't show up at all. But in the same time it works here.   Russian Empire

Currently it says
flag alias =Flag of Slovakia (1939–1945).svg
It should be
flag alias =Flag of Russia.svg
Since the Russian flag of today is the same as the one used by the Russian Empire and not that of WW2 Slovakia (!!?)

@ Jonesey95: How can you say that the Flag of Slovakia 1939-1945 is the flag of the Russian empire and not the Russian flag(????)

The Imperial Russian Flag was readopted by Russia after collapse of the Soviet Union
The Russian empire did not use the flag of the nazi-client state "the slovak republic"

Illegitimate Barrister has done hundreds of edits since the above ping but has not responded here, so I have reverted their unexplained and strange edit to this flag. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 13:23, 7 January 2019 (UTC) reply

Change the 1914 flag from
File:Flag of Russian Empire for private use (1914–1917).svg
to
File:Flag of Russian Empire (1914-1917).svg
as the description notes, the current one is unofficial and the several sources for the new flag shows that thats how it looked in real life. Havsjö ( talk) 20:45, 26 April 2019 (UTC) reply

 Not done: seems already to be using this one — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 14:30, 29 April 2019 (UTC) reply

No, it doesnt? -- Havsjö ( talk) 08:43, 5 May 2019 (UTC) reply

I think it is. The 1914 variant is shown below. I'm not seeing "for private use" anywhere on this template. — Martin ( MSGJ ·  talk) 14:45, 7 May 2019 (UTC) reply

Change the 1914 flag from
File:Flag of Russian Empire for private use (1914–1917).svg
to
File:Flag of Russian Empire (1914-1917).svg
as the current flags file description notes, the current one is not offical and the several sources for the proposed replacement shows that thats how it looked in real life. Its description upon introduction even states that the yellow field should cover the blue line.

 Not done: As near as I can tell this template has never used the flag you're requesting we replace. Primefac ( talk) 01:04, 13 September 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Primefac: its the Flag of Russia (1914–1917).svg I mean (its called "Flag of Russian Empire for private use (1914–1917).svg" in Commons). Thats the one which should be replaced with "Flag of Russian Empire (1914-1917).svg" -- Havsjö ( talk) 10:05, 17 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Well, that's just weird. I've fixed the Commons redirect. Primefac ( talk) 11:05, 17 September 2019 (UTC) reply

@ Primefac: Uh, okay? Can you replace the Flag of Russia (1914–1917).svg (called Flag of Russian Empire for private use (1914–1917).svg in Commons) with Flag of Russian Empire (1914-1917).svg ? -- Havsjö ( talk) 16:41, 18 September 2019 (UTC) reply

I already did? Primefac ( talk) 17:35, 22 September 2019 (UTC) reply

Please remove 1914 flag from this template. It was never officially adopted as a state flag, or as described in List_of_Russian_flags#Historical_flags_of_Russia: "Flag for private use; also planned State Flag" (emphasis mine). There exists a persistent tendency by some editors to present it as official flag of Russian Empire in World War I infoboxes like here which is clearly misleading.-- Staberinde ( talk) 20:38, 1 June 2021 (UTC) reply

Replace the 1896 variant file with the regular Russian flag file as the 1896 "variant" is based off of postcards that used a different palette due to the coloring even though most sources point to the modern Russian colors being used officially.
