Would you consider changing the animated flag to a static image?

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Profile_Aesthetics

I am one of those people who thinks that the animated gifs belong here in the forum, but not on profiles. {and they are not allowed in stickers) The poppy one is not so bad, but the waving flag reminds me of MySpace in 2002. tee hee.
I like that flag and use it for all Canadian soldiers that I manage.  I know that it's excessive but I like it.  I started using it for both my grandfathers and my own profile,  I just want to give soldier something more to highlight their service.
Just know they are discouraged, according to the help page. Hopefully you'll just use that one sparingly.

"Animations and moving images are discouraged in all contexts."

His profile needs a bit more of a bio, so let's see what we can come up with!
Also, once we get this template business figured out, the category will go green! Be patient, we'll get there.
Thanks for your help.  The change of name is a good idea but I understand how frustrating it is.
I think I finally got it worked out.

Well, the category is a "wanted" category, and I'm not certain it's set up correctly.

I knew they changed Canadian Army category to Canadian Expeditionary Force for the WW1 period.  There is still some work that needs to be done.  I'm just pointing it out. I'd help but I'm too new to know what I'm doing.
While the Canadian Army was actually the Canadian Expeditionary Force in WWI (not Canadian Army until 1940), the sticker doesn't accept the correct term and requires Canadian Army instead.
The CEF category should be changed to [[Category:Canadian Expeditionary Force, World War I]] because the template automatically adds "World War I'' to the unit. If the category isn't changed, the template will always add a red category!
