Description
{{flag country|nation|variant|size=|name=}}
Produces a flag icon attached to a wikilinked article. This template is similar to the more widely used{{flag}} template, but is more useful for two situations described below.
Parameters
|1= (first unnamed parameter): Use either the name of the nation or in some cases, a three-letter country code (e.g.ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)|variant= or|2= (optional parameter): Specifies an alternative (historical) flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template inCategory:Country data templates.|size= (optional): Can be used to change the flag icon size.|name= (optional): The display text of the target wikilink is usually automatically generated, but can always be over-ridden with the name parameter.
Usage examples
{{flag country|ITA}} →
Italy- In this case, the country code for Italy (ITA) is used to produce the correct flag and wikilink. In many cases, it would probably be preferable to use{{flag}} to produce the same result, such as
{{flag|Italy}} for this example. However,{{flag country}} could be used within other templates (such as infoboxes) so that country codes can be used for those template parameters.
{{flag country|ITA|1861}} →
Italy- Similar to the first example, but with a flag variant parameter to select a historical flag image. (The wikilinked article is
[[Italy]].)
{{flag country|Kingdom of Italy}} →
Italy- In this example, a differentcountry data template is used, to select an alternative article for the wikilink (in this case,
[[Kingdom of Italy|Italy]]). Compare with{{flag|Kingdom of Italy}} → Kingdom of Italy, in which "Kingdom of Italy" is the display text for the wikilink. Therefore, the choice offlag country orflag depends on the desired display text; in all other respects, the templates are identical.
{{flag country|South Korea|name=Korea}} →
Korea
