{{editprotected}} Can an administrator please replace File:Flag of Egypt 1972.svg with File:Flag of Syria 1972.svg? The two flags were slightly different during the Federation of Arab Republics era. (Egypt had its name on its flag and Syria only had the common emblem) Orange Tuesday (talk) 21:00, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The official longname of Syria is the Syrian Arab Republic; it needs to be added to the template. --${\displaystyle \color {Blue}{\mathcal {M}}}$${\displaystyle \color {Blue}{\vec {(e\ ,}}}$${\displaystyle \color {Blue}t)}$ 16:45, 19 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please could you add this missing flag for the armed forces

 Not done: editor VNW060222, there is no File:Syrian Arab Armed Forces.svg; it is missing indeed. Closest I could find is File:Flag of the Syrian Arab Armed Forces2.png; is that the flag you want? P.I. Ellsworth , ed. ^{put'er there} 06:48, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

An update is needed. After the change of government, the flag and coat of arms changed. New flag - Flag of the Syrian revolution.svg Alter73 (talk) 11:47, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change the 1932 flag to the normal flag, change the Ba'athist flag to "1963" Scuba 17:46, 9 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait. And note that the opposition are mainly using 2:3 flags instead of the 1932 flag with 1:2 ratio.  — 魔琴 (Zauber Violino) [ talk contribs ] 02:36, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We have to clear transclutions, or the green flag would end up in wrong places, e.g. Armed factions in the Syrian civil war#Opposing forces. See also c:File talk:Flag of Syria.svg#Future_move?.  — 魔琴 (Zauber Violino) [ talk contribs ] 02:43, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What about adding a 1980 alias for the flag? It would help resolve opposing factions issues before the change is implemented. – Anwon (talk) 14:18, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that adding a variant for the 1980-2024 flag would be helpful and will be needed no matter what the new flag ends up being. Can we at least confirm that {{flag|Syria|1980}} will be the correct variant/syntax to use for the historical flag? We could then begin adding the variant to articles where we know the historical flag will be needed instead of whatever ends up being the current flag (since adding a non-existent variant defaults to the current flag). Wburrow (talk) 18:01, 10 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

1980 would be good.  — 魔琴 (Zauber Violino) [ talk contribs ] 10:05, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

At least frwiki, trwiki and ruwiki have set the 2:3 independence flag to default and the Ba'athist flag to 1980. I think we shall do the same (after clearing transclusions, that is.)  — 魔琴 (Zauber Violino) [ talk contribs ] 00:59, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Support The transitional government, embassies, and even the football association and clubs have started using it. Valorthal77 (talk) 11:04, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cautious support: no dispute that the 1932 flag is now de facto in Syria, but they are using a modified version, the 2:3 ratio, not the 1:2 version. It should be updated depending on which ratio. HiddenFace101 (talk) 11:13, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
