Talk page ordering

I've addressed your concerns about the headquarters of the Anti-War Committee of Russia, and I asked TheVoltigeur to explain what the source was since the editor added that claim. However, the newest topic goes at the bottom like all talk pages I have seen (see also: WP:TALKNEW). Just click the "+" sign at the top of the page to add a new topic, and let the discussion tools do the heavy layout work for you. --Minoa (talk) 05:18, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Great, then let's wait for the response. Euwed (talk) 07:52, 8 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Flags

I think the use of flags in Russian undesirable organizations law may be unnecessary per MOS:FLAGCRUFT. What do you think? --Minoa (talk) 16:40, 3 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The primary reason for using country with flag (e.g. {{USA}}) instead of plain country name (e.g. [[United States]]) is that country with flag is provided by the universal wiki-template, available across many different wiki-versions, therefore it's much easier to maintain the article in different languages — no need to adjust the country name for every single local version of the wiki-article, e.g.:

Instead of all these variants:

[[United States]]
[[Vereinigten Staaten]]
[[Spojené státy]]
[[Соединенные Штаты Америки]]
[[Сполучені Штати Америки]]

Just universal single template {{USA}}, which works perfectly on most of the national wiki-versions.

Besides that, the German version of this article has automatically switched to the country with flag mode, and to keep the article's experience consistent across Wikipedia, I decided to expand the usage of this template to the rest of versions of this wiki-article.
