A: Since the sole current government of Afghanistan is that of the Taliban, consensus was reached in this 2021 RfC to identify the primary current flag of Afghanistan as that of the Taliban. This consensus was affirmed in this 2022 RfC. The tricolor is displayed in its own section with lower emphasis.

Done I'm not sure of the point of intentionally blank short descriptions, but you're right in that every other flag article I checked had it set that way, so I changed this one as well. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 19:25, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is still included as a current flag in a lot of encyclopedic sources, and Wikipedia policy is to give appropriate weight to majority and significant minority viewpoints. There's lots of citations to back that up in the section—that's not something we can suppress entirely. TEMPO156 (talk) 00:41, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
