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.

Flag Wikidata Ours OSM uses Fix

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.
