File:Flag of Burkland.svg

Unless you're Sealand or the Hutt River Principality, or have achieved a similar level of quasi-mainstream prominence, then a micronation's flag is pretty much by definition a "special or fictional flag", as far as Wikimedia Commons is concerned. If your flag consisted of a winged unicorn flying over a rainbow, or something like that, then there might be no need to add the "fictitious flag" tag -- but since it in fact consists of elements from Communist and Arab Nationalist symbolism combined to form a quasi-realistic looking whole, it needs to be made clear that it's not a non-special/non-fictional flag...

Just because we aren't mainstream and have communist/Arab nationalist symbolism doesn't mean we don't exist. InTheRevolution2 (talk) 02:47, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

That's nice -- I really don't want to debate metaphysics or the philosophy of politics with you, and I actually don't have any desire to stigmatize the flag image as such. However, you chose to have the flag be rather "official"-looking, but it's not in fact "official" according to the pragmatic Wikimedia Commons de facto definitions, and the price to be paid for this discrepancy is the presence of the template...

Parliament diagram tool new version

Hi there,

At Wikimania, I ported my parliament diagram tool to Wikimedia's servers, fixed the bug that made the dots invisible above a certain number, and gave it a new, easier interface. Please let me know if it works for you - I need some testers. The source code is now also hosted on github, so you can either file bug reports directly there, or drop me a note on Wikipedia.

A point about copyright: you don't have to worry about the copyright status of the program: you own the copyright to the diagram once you've created it, so you can release it under any license you see fit (although, by their nature, they're probably too simple to be eligible for copyright, I think).

Thanks! --Slashme (talk) 23:00, 14 August 2014 (UTC)
