Implementation notes[edit source]
By default, this template shows the standard national flag for the selected country, following by a wikilink to "Country Army". Either or both of these items can be changed by adding specific parameters to the appropriate country_data template (complete set found in Category:Country data templates).
To use a different flag, such as an army-specific flag for the nation, use:
- flag alias-army = image name
To use a different name for the wikilinked army article, use:
- link alias-army = article name
