Design pages on VexiWiki are places where people can share, look at, and comment on flag designs.

Sharing[]

To share a design, use these steps:

  1. Upload a PNG, GIF, or SVG image of the design under the name:

"FlagDesign(what the flag represents)-(designer's initials).(png, gif, or svg)"

  1. In the search box, enter the name of the person, place, thing, or idea you want to share a flag design for.
  2. At the bottom of the article, look for a box that reads, "VexiWiki has a design page for (flag)". If there is one, click on the link provided in the box, which will appear as blue letters. If they apear as red letters, see below.
  3. If the page does exist, click on the link provided on the top of the page.
  4. Use the designer's name as the title.
  5. Insert the following:
{{subst:NewDesign|Image name|Description of design|Description of symbolism}}

Commenting[]

To comment on a design, use these steps:

  1. In the "Comments" section of the entry, click "edit".
  2. Insert your comment in the following format, putting your comment on the bottom of the page:
*'''(Support, Oppose, or Neutral)''' (insert your comment(s) here) ~~~~

Creating a new design page[]

If you would like to create a new design page, please follow these instructions:

  • Make sure the title of the design page begins with Design:, so readers will know it is a design page.
  • To create the page, just insert the following text (substituting "flag" for the title of the design page; Design:New Zealand is used as an example):
{{designtop|New_Zealand}}
For titles with spaces, use a _ instead of a space.
  • Add the Vdesign template to the bottom of the real flag's article, using the following code:
{{Vdesign}}
  • The design page should be ready for use now.
