On the use of the state flag and replacement with army flag, naval jack and racing stripe
I'm writing this partly as a description and partly as an edit request. I don't anticipate objections, but that doesn't mean there can't be. Just to be safe I've set it on a timer. (At least I think it should work.)

Currently the army alias displays the correct, official War flag. However, the army has its. Judging by Template:Army the plain army-alias flag should be replaced, and the war flag should be listed as the war variant of the army/Norwegian flag.

Change Flag of Norway, state.svg to Flag of the Norwegian Army.svg And addFlag of Norway, state.svg Norwegian Armed Forces border-war And war And NO Norge

The flag aliases naval, navy and coast guard are all currently using the, which in this case is the same as the state flag. I haven't found any official unique flags for the Royal Norwegian Navy, or the Norwegian Coast Guard. However, according to WikiProject Flag Template (which also has a relevant discussion), either naval or navy (it's difficult to tell) can be declared with the naval jack in this case. As I can't make sense of which one to change, I hope the template editor knows which one should be the naval ensign and which one should be the naval jack.

Change Flag of Norway, state.svg orFlag of Norway, state.svg toNaval Jack of Norway.svg

And finally, changing the coast guard file from the naval ensign to their racing stripe.

Change Flag of Norway, state.svg toNorwegian Coast Guard Racing Stripe.svg

Edited to fix two image links and to ping, as I'm not sure my automated attempt has been listed properly. BucketOfSquirrels (talk) 13:42, 3 April 2023 (UTC)


 * it does appear that your edit request has been listed properly in the category. After working with these CD templates for a long time, I've found that more often than not, the Naval and Navy flags are the same; however, sometimes when there is a Naval jack, it is used with the Naval template. So we can try that and see how it "flies". Thank you so much for your edits!  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 08:54, 5 April 2023 (UTC)


 * was unable to add the NO redirect, because it is already in use for another CD template, Northern Ontario. All your other edits have been added.  P.I. Ellsworth &thinsp;, ed.  put'er there 09:21, 5 April 2023 (UTC)
