Am I the only one who feels Category: Flags makes more sense? The categories are already lists, so by calling the category "lists of flags" it's almost as if to say this category is for pages involving lists of flags, and I think the only pages that actually involve lists of flags are, well, the ones listed on lists of flags. This category could still exist, but as a subcategory of flags and not the other way around. I'm just looking for some "yeas" before inadvertently causing some sort of edit war :P Sarge Baldy 19:04, Jun 12, 2004 (UTC)

If there were just lists in it, this category could easily be in Category:Flags (were it was just added) and Category:Lists. In the later, I'm trying to include all lists. If you don't mind, I'd change the category to include all lists of flags (including those currently in other "Lists of flags"-category. -- User:Docu

Hope you don't mind, but I change the category in that way. As Category:Lists of regional flags and its subcategories are more or less empty, I orphaned the first one. I suppose we could delete them. -- User:Docu

Category:Lists of regional flags etc are now gone. -- User:Docu

Out the "Lists"

No, Sarge, you aren't the only one.

Whoever indexed this page, sorry to say, is new to indexing. "List of Greek flags" is under G for Greek. OK. "List of South Korean flags" is under L, where I'm not going to think of looking. It should be done consistently, and everything doesn't need to be put under L.

My suggestions is to drop the words "list of" out and just alphabetize the remaining headings, whether of countries or symbols or what have you, so if I want flags with flowers, I'll just look under F, and there it will be.

Also, what brought me to this page (vainly) was a search for past flags of Iraq, to see how they differed from the present one. No joy. Hope somebody fills that gap--all historic national flags, not just Iraq; I don't have the software right now, or I would.
