The graphic for this sidebar - "A phrygian cap on a pole" - is really tacky and unnecessary.

Does anyone object to removing it, and simply leaving the sidebar as text? — Preceding unsigned comment added by El T (talk • contribs) 17:20, 18 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see it is back again. The problem is that it is too large and makes the template take up a lot of space particularly when used in conjunction with other sidebar templates or infoboxes on a page. No good reason stated for switch from earlier image. If it is considered important to use this image, it should be reduced. --Michael Goodyear ✐  ✉ 15:13, 8 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Most Wikipedia sidebars about ideologies no longer use specific symbols. See

Template:Libertarianism in the United States sidebar, and Template:Socialism sidebar. The few sidebars that still feature specific symbols are Template:Anarchism sidebar, Template:Anarcho-capitalism sidebar, and Template:Libertarian socialism sidebar, but Anarchist symbolism is universally accepted and recognized (confer also: 1.Template:Fascism sidebar and Fascist symbolism; 2. Template:Nazism sidebar and Nazi symbolism). Republicanism has no such unique set of symbols. This explains the edit-warring over the image for the past 3 years. Why don't we just remove the image parameter? --Omnipaedista (talk) 21:40, 12 August 2020 (UTC)[reply

 Not done: because all the other's names do not include middle initials, so to keep it consistent, I'll leave it like this. L293D (☎ • ✎) 00:00, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I declined because adding middle initials was out of line with the rest of the template. However, your arguments are right and I will make the edit. Thanks. L293D (☎ • ✎) 00:53, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

And thanks for the ping, otherwise I would never have seen this. L293D (☎ • ✎) 00:54, 17 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
