Please add  and   so the flag used by FIFA (confirmed here) is able to be used for football templates. Thanks, S.A. Julio (talk) 02:50, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

Sandbox
Hello! Can you create a sandbox regarding this template. Also with colonial flags under the Spanish reign. . Yours sincerely, Sondre --62.73.207.204 (talk) 12:56, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Hello Sondre, consider creating an account instead. Once you are autoconfirmed (which is not hard), you are free to create the sandbox yourself. ◢  Ganbaruby!   (talk) 08:01, 31 May 2021 (UTC)

I'd like to propose these changes to the page for the different flags used in different periods of time including today that are missing. Like the country data page for Peru, there's several flags missing which would be useful and should be added here. Any mistakes present here I apologize for in advance.

 * ✅, and as with the Peru template, a Bolivia sandbox has been created for future suggestions.  P.I. Ellsworth &numsp;- ed.  put'r there 04:02, 30 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! You're a life saver. :D 180app (talk) 04:04, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

curious about the significant difference between File:Bandera de Bolivia (Estado).svg and File:Flag of Bolivia (state).svg. Do you know the story behind that difference? One reason that I ask is because the "football" variant still uses the "(state)" flag (wonder if it should also be changed to the "(Estado)" flag?).  P.I.

 * They do appear to be very similar, if not the same. Perhaps it should be brought up on their respective talk pages unless there is a reliable source differentiating the two of them. 180app (talk) 09:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Could someone change the default flag back to the civil flag, please? August-54 (talk) 11:31, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

Edit request 20 October 2023
I would like to request that the file for flag alias-football be changed to. Use of a state flag for non-governmental purposes when there is a separate civil flag is improper, and FIFA uses the civil flag in match reports such as this one from 2026 World Cup qualifying: BOL 0–3 ARG. This request would change the output for 🇧🇴 bolivia and all other association football templates from 🇧🇴 bolivia to 🇧🇴 bolivia. I forced the state and civil flags to preserve the differences between the two should the request be approved. — Jkudlick &#x2693; (talk) 02:11, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, I know the flag was changed a few years ago when FIFA started using the state flag, but it has been reverted back to the civil flag at the same source from 2018. See here.— Jkudlick &#x2693; (talk) 02:15, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Change default flag to the civil flag
has pointed out that the default flag here is the state flag, but the civil flagwhich has no coat of arms in the middleis more commonly used. I'm unsure whether or not that is trueit's the bigger one in the infobox of Flag of Bolivia and the only one in Bolivia but if you google "flag of Bolivia" all you find is the one with the coat of arms, including Encyclopaedia Britannica. Thoughts?

 * It seems that general preference on Wikipedia is to use the civil flag for all countries. From personal experience, I see the state flag with the coat of arms waving more often in Bolivia. Granted, that's mostly over government buildings or state-organized parades and celebrations. I'm ambivalent either way. Krisgabwoosh (talk) 00:55, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
