Missing flag entity
Subjects (cities, organisations) that have a flag image attached via
P41 on their main Wikidata entity, but no dedicated
"flag of X" entity exists for the flag itself. Until someone creates
one, OSM mappers have nowhere correct to point
flag:wikidata= at, and this site can't include the flag.
Open the subject to see what's already there, then create a new
Wikidata item with instance of: flag (Q14660) and
flag of: <subject>.
Use the batch creation page
to review the auto-tagged rows and generate a
QuickStatements batch.
Not classified as a flag
OSM mappers tag flag:wikidata=Qxxx, but Wikidata's
entity has no P31/P279* link to
flag (Q14660)
or
flag design (Q69506823).
The fix could go either way: if the QID really does describe a flag,
add the right P31 statement on Wikidata. If the QID
describes something else (a country, an organisation, a building)
and was tagged in error, open the OSM elements in overpass-turbo and
retag them to point at the correct flag entity.
Missing image
Wikidata's flag entity has no P18 image, so this site
shows a placeholder. If a flag image exists on Wikimedia Commons,
add it on Wikidata to populate the grid here and on every other site
that reads from Wikidata.
Colors
Wikidata stores a flag's colors as P462 statements.
We compare what Wikidata has against the curated palette this site
uses (Wikidata + manual overrides). Adding missing
P462 on Wikidata makes flags more searchable across
every tool that reads from Wikidata.

Neither Wikidata nor this site's overrides have colors recorded.
The long tail. Easy curator wins by classifying locally first
(in the curate tool) then pushing the data to Wikidata.
