Which flag is the primary flag? edit

So which flag is the primary flag: the black banner or the one with the slogan (File:Махновское знамя.svg), as is used on the Makhnovshchina page? czar 19:08, 7 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

There wasn't really a "primary flag" as such. The Makhnovists used a variety of black (and red) banners, often embroidered with different slogans. The flag used on the Makhnovshchina article was the one that flew above the headquarters of the District Soviet of Peasant, Worker and Insurgent Deputies. As this soviet acted as a coordinating body for the Makhnovshchina, this one makes sense to use for the infobox of that article. But as the Makhnovshchina as a whole used a variety of flags, I put the plain black flag in the infobox of this one. Grnrchst (talk) 21:59, 7 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
