Flags

I don't know much about this kind of thing, but if players from Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland have those respective flags next to their names, should English players be represented by an English flag rather than the Union Jack? – MaskedMarth ^{(t c)} 23:04, 12 September 2018 (EDT)

I was under the impression that the Union Jack was the GB flag. Aidan, the Rurouni 23:26, 12 September 2018 (EDT)

The Union Jack is the flag of the United Kingdom, i.e. the union encompassing England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Either all the UK players should have it, or none of them should (and the English players should instead have this). For a UK-specific page, I'd recommend the latter.

As a not-Brit, I wouldn't make assumptions. If someone complains we can change it. Toomai Glittershine The Wacko 06:33, 13 September 2018 (EDT)

Some quick research contradicts my earlier statement, as there is a flag of England. I'm not sure if we have it here on the wiki, but it does exist. That said, the Union Jack was the flag of Great Britain before the United Kingdom was agreed upon, so there's also that. On a separate note, I did find this on the Union Jack page:

“	Notably, the home country of Wales is not represented separately in the Union Flag, as the flag was designed after the invasion of Wales in 1282. Hence Wales as a home country today has no representation on the flag; it appears under the cross of St George, which represents the former Kingdom of England (which included Wales).	”
