Pre-1990

{{editprotected}} As this flag was designed in 1990, its use prior to that was not possible. Please modify to allow the New Zealand flag or defaced red ensign for pre-1990 usage. --Bob (talk) 04:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've added the old variant, so {{ru|New Zealand Māori|old}} →

Māori. Hope this helps. — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 05:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. --Bob (talk) 14:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, the use of File:Flag of Maori.svg for rugby union is inappropriate as it is never, ever used in an official capacity. Therefore, it should be removed and File:Flag of New Zealand.svg be used in all instances. --Bob (talk) 22:06, 23 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I notice this was mentioned above by Bob: Flag of New Zealand#Other Flags says that the Maori prefer red flags and that in 1981 this was acknowledged in New Zealand law by allowing special use of the red ensign officially. Should a {{rl|New Zealand Māori|1981}} function be added here? LunarLander // talk // 01:12, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
