Article templates
Templates for use in article and article talk namespaces:
 * WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology should be placed at the top of article talk pages to indicate these articles' relevance to this WikiProject.
 * User WPHV may be added to the user page of any participant of this WikiProject.

Dummy images
These images can be used in infoboxes and similar if a flag / coat of arms image is missing or has been deleted.

Infoboxes

 * Infobox coat of arms, infobox for "Coat of arms of X" articles and analogous sections
 * Infobox heraldry, infobox for national heraldry articles (e.g. Canadian heraldry); use with Heraldry by country navbox
 * Infobox flag, infobox for "Flag of X" articles and analogous sections within articles

Nation-specific infoboxes

Navboxes

 * Heraldry by country, navbox for navigating country-specific heraldry articles (e.g. Swedish heraldry)

Vexillology

 * Flag displays a flag icon with linked country name

Stub templates

 * Flag-stub
 * Heraldry-stub
 * Canada-heraldry-stub
 * Poland-heraldry-stub

When using these tags, if they are not already nation-specific please also add the relevant nationality tag, e.g. an article about an Italian coat of arms should be stubbed with both Italy-stub and Heraldry-stub. Doing so saves a lot of work for WP:WSS.

If you wish to see additional stub templates created it might be an idea to first consider if you know of 60 existing articles that could benefit from such a template since this is the standard requirement for new stub templates. If you do, please list your suggestion on WP:WSS/P. This process is used to achieve a consistent naming system for stub templates which makes them easier to use. Thanks in advance.
