Only part of Doniawerstal went to Scharsterland, the rest went to Wymbritseradeel,
see :
Wymbritseradeel (Wymbritseradiel) [Incl.
Âldegea
(Oudega), Doniawestal (Doanjewerstal)and

The flag of Haskerland flew only one year (1984- 3 Jan. 1985) when the
municipality was divided among Boarnsterhim, Skarsterlân and Lemsterlân.
(NB: The last three names are Frisian; before 1985 municipalities had only
official Dutch names. Several students were arrested after they replaced
the official roadsign of 'Franeker' with one with 'Frentsjer')
According to 'Encyclopedie van Friesland', 1958, the name Haskerland
derives from 'haske', 'heesc', an inferior species of grass.
The inhabitants preferred the meaning: 'hare'. Municipal seat; Joure

From https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vlag_van_Rottum:
Three horizontal stripes of yellow, black and yellow, in the ratio of 3:2:3; over all a red ramp forceer with a thickness of 1/6 flag height, starting from the hoist and touching 11/18 flag length; the inside of the ramp-forcer, on the hoist side, white, with a green seven-pointed star of 1/3 flag height in the middle. The colors come from the village coat of arms.
The flag was registered in 1992
