Forum:Use of logos and flags for belligerents in infoboxes

Forums: Index → General Discussion → Use of logos and flags for belligerents in infoboxes

Why is it that on Halopedia I am unable to add logos and flags to the different sides and belligerents/groups of a conflict to add illustration and make the infobox presentable better. For example, i cannot add the logo/flag for the Unified Earth Government or UNSC in the 'Human-Covenant war' infobox because a copyright message replaces it instead! Yet on normal Wikipedia, you are perfectly allowed to placed flags and logos for different belligerents and armed militant groups involved in wars, for example, the logos/flags for all of the militant groups in the Syrian civil war. Can someone tell me why this is pls?--Paulhalo121 (talk) 05:31, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

It should be something like these: File:Perfect White UNSC logo.png . But we should have a debate on whether we need them in the first place. Many factions don't have a banner so the template may look irregular at times. Imrane-117 (talk) 08:09, 20 April 2016 (EDT)

The fact that many factions don't have flags, banners or symbols is the biggest obstacle. What do you put for the Free Peoples of Meridian? Or Venezia, which has no visual depictions? These are separate entities to the UEG and UNSC. Or for a group like Vata 'Gajat's mercenary group? Just putting a generic Covenant symbol might be misleading for a reader, who sees it and assumes they were still part of 'Mdama's Covenant. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 08:26, 20 April 2016 (EDT)
