Already answered on previous thread.
According to the Flag Institute, the vexillological organisation for the United Kingdom, "the national flag of the United Kingdom, the Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories is the Union Flag, which may also be called the Union Jack
So it can be either...
On the original point....I suspect admin may have other priorities to continually update the flags..
Just rejoice in what we have....and also bear in mind this is an international site too.

""It may only be referred to as a Union Jack when hoisted to the mast of a ship" this is when it can be referred to as either name. "
My answer from the the previous thread -
Quote from the Flag Institute -
It is often stated that the Union Flag should only be described as the Union Jack when flown in the bows of a warship, but this is a relatively recent idea. From early in its life the Admiralty itself frequently referred to the flag as the Union Jack, whatever its use, and in 1902 an Admiralty Circular announced that Their Lordships had decided that either name could be used officially. Such use was given Parliamentary approval in 1908 when it was stated that "the Union Jack should be regarded as the National flag".
