Missing flags?
I noticed there are a bunch of European sovereign states that don't have their own flags (namely Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, and most of Eastern Europe) that don't have their own flags. Is it because people don't play Smash there? Awesome Cardinal 2000 18:23, 9 March 2014 (EDT)
- Well currently we only upload flags if we have a need for them, so if we don't have any smashers with pages or tournament results from a country, we don't need their flag. Toomai Glittershine

Latin America
Just as we have flag representing Europe, I believe we need one to represent Latin America, which is needed for articles that include release dates and such. For some reason (not only on this wiki), it's always said "This thing was released on this date in North America/the United States and Canada", ignoring the rest of the continent, even though most game releases in Latin America are on the same date as in those two countries.
Now, there is a problem. There is no actual flag for Latin America or a recognizable organization that includes all of its countries, like there is for Europe. Bulbapedia, for example, uses what seems to be a flag for CELAC, however, there is no actual CELAC flag and that's just its logo over a colored background, which is also representing just one of the several organizations that try to embrace the Latin American countries. There have been proposals for a common flag like this one, though.
The thing is, it'd be too hard to combine all of the Latin American flags in one rectangle (it already looks messy here, in my opinion), or to use all flags separately, so I'm not sure about what we could do. I'd appreciate any ideas or opinions, since I still believe we need something to represent Latin America. --Gabo 2oo (talk) 20:09, 11 November 2014 (EST)
Quebec flag
We noticed that the Quebec Flag is missing in the database. Although this is a minor problem (since flags are supposed to reflect nationality, not the province you are born). there are players that identify themselves more with a place than another. We would like to request if it was possible to add them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wtvdd (talk • contribs) 10:48, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
- Well I guess it would depend what you'd be using it for. If you want it for a template or something, then sure. But for smasher infoboxes, I feel it would set a precedent for any province or state being entitied to their own flags, and I don't really see the usefulness of that. Besides, we have categories like Category:Quebec smashers. Toomai Glittershine The Cloronic 11:45, 26 March 2015 (EDT)
Quebec flag... again ?
Oh hi, it's been a while that I checked my account.
I wanted to reply to the initial conversation but I'm not sure how the system works, sorry if this bothers the admins lol
I'm requesting once again to add the Quebec flag to the DB. A lot of said "Canadian Smashers" don't necessarily identify themselves with the whole country. Quebec in a really different place from the entire North American continent, culturally and socially and a lot of local players would rather see their names beside a QC flag rather than being in the giant pack of Canadian flags, specially for Canadian Major tournaments.
Adding the QC flag doesn't add a precedent for other states/provinces to have their own flag, as Quebec is recognized by the Government of Canada as a nation (source : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Québécois_nation_motion).
It's an issue for a lot of Smashers, since they are always overwhelmed by anglophone content and can't express their difference due people putting them in the same bag as other regions of Canada. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wtvdd (talk • contribs) 19:45, January 4, 2016
Luxembourg
I could add it but... I'm not sure. The consensus is left to Toomai. --

Definitely need to add the Luxembourg flag, Luxembourg is surprisingly pretty good, and their players travel a lot, to many different countries in Europe. TraX got 25th at BEAST 6 for instance, and LuiS usually gets good results in Germany and the Netherlands. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tetra (talk • contribs) 16:28, June 29, 2016
Trinidad and Tobago
The Rio de Janeiro eGames Showcase 2016 tournament took place recently, and there was a player from Trinidad and Tobago, Wabz, who participated. We might not see such a flag being put to use again for a long time, but given the ambitious and Olympics-esque nature of this invitational tournament, it'd be great to have all players rocking their proper country flags in the article, in my opinion.

- Done. In the future, if there's one we need that we don't have yet, you can simply upload a clean version of the flag (like I got from Wikipedia) to a filename like "File:Flag of ____.png" and it should work just fine. Miles (talk) 23:45, 17 August 2016 (EDT)
Singapore
A Singapore flag has been requested by Riko for the YouCMe smasher article. Pokebub (talk) 20:59, 23 January 2018 (EST)
Andorra
Didn't even know this country existed until I discovered it when I was creating a page for a European tournament. Wikipedia file here. Pokebub (talk) 02:39, 24 July 2018 (EDT)
India
We appear to be missing India's flag. I'd like to request it for use on DreamHack Mumbai 2018. Pokebub (talk) 23:15, 13 November 2018 (EST)
