Template-protected edit request on 7 January 2014

[edit]

Costa Rican flags has many changes throughout the times. The wikipedia page about the flag lists most of them.(http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Flag_of_Costa_Rica) According to the page, It has changed its flag (considers Civil and State ones) in the year 1823, 1824, 1840, 1842, 1848, 1906, 1964 and 1998. I give the request to see if I can make this template more loyal to history, and to seek a correct reflect to Wiki flag page.

Not done for now: Please make the changes you are requesting to Template:Country data Costa Rica/sandbox so that they can be reviewed and implemented more easily. Jackmcbarn (talk) 16:40, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, pls check http://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/Template:Country_data_Costa_Rica/sandbox in which I have made the changes requested to Template:Country data Costa Rica. Joins2003 (talk) 12:08, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good to me; as this is my first edit request response, I'd like to wait for another template editor or administrator to comment before responding. Pinging @Jackmcbarn, since he responded to the previous version of the request. APerson (talk!) 18:56, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Not done for now: This breaks any pages that use the 1839 or naval version. @Joins2003: can you fix that? Jackmcbarn (talk) 19:06, 9 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  • I added those two back in to the sandbox version. looking over the chronology of the years for the file makes me think the the 1839 version has been deprecated (there is no room for it if you follow the year spans). If this is the case, then a maint cat should be added to find the uses of that parameter and properly fix them/remove them from use before removing the parameter from the template. I'm not sure why naval was removed. Can you explain those please Joins2003? Thanks Technical 13 (talk) 11:34, 10 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Costa Rica Civil Guard" to "Civil Guard (Costa Rica)" as the current link is a redirect .HugoRicciLeah (talk) 08:35, 16 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request to add variants added to sandbox in 2014

[edit]

Looking at the sandbox, the current list corresponds with the information at Flags of the World and the only flag I can spot missing from Flag of Costa Rica is the 1839 one, marked "unofficial" on FotW, and a proposal from 1845. I think it would be useful, thus, to overwrite the template with the current sandbox content. — OwenBlacker (talk; please {{ping}} me in replies) 22:59, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Not done for now: If that flag belongs in the template, it belongs in the article, too. Do that first. StevenJ81 (talk) 17:59, 3 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the brackets in the name for the navy template. Skjoldbro (talk) 22:18, 12 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done for now: that format is currently consistent with the name of the article Civil Guard (Costa Rica). If this is undesirable perhaps the first step should be to move the article? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:29, 13 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please change link alias-naval = Civil Guard (Costa Rica) to link alias-naval Public Force of Costa Rica. The Civil Guard was defunct in 1996, and the Public Force replaced it.

The two articles should probably be merged as the Spanish version refers to both as the same organization (Fuerza Pública de Costa Rica), but as it stands, the English version separates the two and it only makes sense to link to the current organization instead. Seloloving (talk) 03:18, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I read Public Force of Costa Rica. It appears that Costa Rica does not have a navy. So is this the right link to add? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:06, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Regarding your proposed merge, it seems that Costa Rican Civil Guard was only one part of the organisations that formed the Fuerza Pública, so it might be cleaner to leave it as a separate historical article. But I know nothing about Costa Rica and this is not the right place to discuss that anyway :) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:10, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I acknowledge a merge discussion wasn't what I intended. I was just commenting that the Spanish version of the page featured the two organizations on a single article. That said, Costa Rica does lack a Navy, but they do employ a coast guard as seen from this video on their official Facebook page, and this article of US assistance to the coast guard. While the Public Force article fails to mention it, I would suggest its omission on a Wikipedia page does not change the fact that it exists as a unit under it, based on the Facebook page.
I note that some templates have the "alias-coast guard" prefix, instead of "alias-naval", perhaps that could be added in instead? Seloloving (talk) 10:15, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Certainly that would be possible. Is there an article you are trying to fix? Then we can see what is the best way to proceed — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 14:06, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I have been trying to clean up the List of navies page and for the Costa Rica column to link to a defunct organisation just seemed weird to me.
However, my point is now moot, since upon further research, it seems the Coast Guard is directly under the Ministry of Public Security instead of the Public Force (ie the Coast Guard and Public Force are equal in rank under the MPS). As such, since the English Wikipedia lacks a dedicated page for the Coast Guard and the only reference to the Ministry of Public Security is within the Public Force page, I would suggest linking to that instead.
If that's not recommended or possible, please do disregard my request as I do not wish to turn a template request into a content dispute. Apologies. Seloloving (talk) 14:57, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: per the above discussion. Primefac (talk) 18:21, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Please add | flag alias-football = Flag of Costa Rica (state).svg, | flag alias-futsal = Flag of Costa Rica (state).svg, | flag alias-beach soccer = Flag of Costa Rica (state).svg and | altvar = {{{altvar|}}} so the flag used by FIFA is automatically displayed in the football template(s).

@S.A. Julio: Help? DenSportgladeSkåningen (talk) 07:45, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@DenSportgladeSkåningen: I'm not sure FIFA do use the state flag for Costa Rica, it could be a mistake on their website (the civil flag was previously used on their website). At the 2018 World Cup, FIFA used the state flag of Peru, but used the civil flag of Costa Rica. This was also reflected in all of the broadcast graphics of the tournament. S.A. Julio (talk) 13:51, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@S.A. Julio: I see. In that case, FIFA makes a similar mistake with Bolivia, but the opposite - uses the civilian flag on the website. DenSportgladeSkåningen (talk) 14:59, 18 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
