Please change the image name 1897 Ehiopia flag.svg with Flag of Ethiopia (1897).svg (is the same image with a standard name). Thanks, F l a n k e r (talk) 23:03, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

1987 alias
editprotected

Can someone replace File:Flag of Ethiopia (1987-1991).png with File:Ethiopia 1987-1991.PNG? The former appears to be broken. Thanks. Orange Tuesday (talk) 14:48, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, done. The former image was deleted at commons with a rationale I'm not quite following. I'm going to try to figure out what the problem was, and if it also affects the replacement. Thanks, Amalthea  15:18, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Oops, sorry Andrwsc. The new image should be OK anyway, according to Mike.lifeguard, the problem was specific to the old one which was derived from an image from vector-images.com. Amalthea  21:59, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

1996 to 2009 version
This needs to be updated with the version from 1996 to 2009. Currently that flag is only used in Olympic articles, but it needs to be used for other contexts as well. -LtNOWIS (talk) 07:44, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

The template has to have five aliases.


 * " ", to yield the 1897–1936, 1941–1974 version (the country was occupied by Italy in 1936–1941)
 * " ", to yield the 1975–1987 version
 * " ", to yield the 1987–1991 version
 * " ", to yield the 1991–1996 version
 * " ", to yield the 1996–2009 version

There is also the 1975–1987 state flag, which could also be made capable of being produced. See Flag of Ethiopia. I request the template be edited accordingly. --Theurgist (talk) 07:49, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

New SVG
I've created a new svg version of the current png 87-91 flag, could someone update the template, many thanks. TRAJAN 117 (talk) 01:34, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Flag variant 1996 to 2009 correct?
The artile Flag of Ethiopia states that the current version of the Flag of Ethiopia dates back to 31 October 1996. This is supported by the cited Proclamation No. 48/1996 – A Proclamation to amend the Flag and Emblem Proclamation. The article states that the flag variant dubbed Flag of Ethiopia (1996-2009).svg was only in use between February and October 1996 rather than 1996-2009. If this were true, the filename should be renamed to Flag of Ethiopia 1996.svg to avoid improper use.

 * If so, you will need to make a request on Commons:File:Flag of Ethiopia (1996-2009).svg I'm afraid as that image is not held on this Wikipedia. (But it would be good to get some agreement from other editors first, because the description of that file seems to disagree with what you are saying.)

 * The size of the emblem was enlarged in 2009, don't know if there was an another variant in 1996.--Antemister (talk) 16:58, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

SVG version available for "flag alias-1975-state": File:Flag of Ethiopia (1975–1987) (02).svg

 * Pictogram voting comment.svg Note: I'm not going to make this change as the flags don't quite look the same to me. There seems to be a lower level of detail (albeit on a larger .svg image) and I don't feel comfortable changing this without knowing exactly what the flag looked like during that time frame. Technical 13 (talk) 16:09, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: It's been near a week and no-one else with the ability to change it feels comfortable doing so, nor has come back to explain the differences or point to documentation I can go look at for verifiability, so I'm marking this as not done.  If such evidence exists, please leave a comment and reactivate this request.  Thank you for your interest in improving the English Wikipedia. Technical 13 (talk) 15:35, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

You missing Armed force:


 * flag alias-military = Flag of the Ethiopian National Defense Force (3).svg


 * link alias-military = Ethiopian National Defense Force

Could you change naval flag from this Flag of Ethiopia (1975–1987).svg to this Flag of Ethiopia (2-3).svg and delete | flag alias-navy = please.

 * Partially . Military (armed forces) link and flag aliases have been added and the naval flag has been updated. Always hesitate to delete things in country data templates. Some other flag templates somewhere always break when things are deleted. So the navy flag alias remains intact.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 07:45, 28 October 2023 (UTC)
