Template talk:Country data Macau

Template-protected edit request on 7 June 2016
The flag used by Macau in international sporting events prior to the December 1999 handover is the light blue municipal banner (Bandeira_do_Leal_Senado.svg)

Sources:

1990 Asian Games = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MMjao6tV6rs - 1:17:31 mark

I suggest making a "municipal" or "pre1999ioc" or "colonialsport" variant, if not altogether replace the "colonial" variant with the municipal flag.

 * Note the existence of Country flag IOC alias MAC, which is aware of the flag you're suggesting. Unfortunately, this template is not aware of it, so this request looks legitimate. But can you cite which existing pages is this a problem? Also, is there consensus for the change? Marking not done for now. Reopen if you have these details, thanks. — Andy W.  ( talk  · ctb) 21:06, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
 * The only page that I thought needed the variant was 1999 Asian Winter Games, where 🇲🇴 did not suffice. I eventually found that I could do  ( Macau) as a suitable measure. - isagani (talk) 11:10, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
 * I came here to ask for the same request, I can name at least two pages (and I think there are more) having this problem 1997 World Wushu Championships and 1999 World Wushu Championships and there won't be any consensus because we won't remove anything, this is just a new option to add this flag.

It's already explained in the talk page why a change is necessary, (see above) so I'm requesting to change the line from another option is add another line like  | flag alias-municipality = Bandeira do Leal Senado.svg  or any other word or date instead.

 *  | flag alias-colonial = Flag of Portugal.svg  to  | flag alias-colonial = Bandeira do Leal Senado.svg 
 * Yes check.svg Done S.A. Julio (talk) 19:50, 23 October 2019 (UTC)
