Template documentationDescription
{{flagcountry|nation|variant|size=}}
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
- nation — Use either the name of the nation or in some cases, a three-letter country code (e.g. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)
- variant (optional) — Specifies an alternative (historical) flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in Category:Country data templates.
- size (optional) — Can be used to change the flag icon size.
Usage examples
{{flagcountry|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, {{flagcountry}} could be used within other templates (such as infoboxes) so that country codes can be used for those template parameters.
- 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
{{flagcountry|ITA|1861}}→ File:Flag of Italy (1861-1946).svg Italy- Similar to the first example, but with a flag variant parameter to select a historical flag image. Note that the wikilinked article is
[[Italy]].
- Similar to the first example, but with a flag variant parameter to select a historical flag image. Note that the wikilinked article is
{{flagcountry|Kingdom of Italy}}→ File:Flag of Italy (1861-1946) crowned.svg Italy- In this example, a different country data template is used, to select an alternative article for the wikilink (in this case,
[[Kingdom of Italy (1861–1946)|Italy]]). Compare with{{flag|Kingdom of Italy}}→ File:Flag of Italy (1861-1946) crowned.svg Kingdom of Italy, in which "Kingdom of Italy" is the display text for the wikilink. Therefore, the choice offlagcountryorflagdepends on the desired display text; in all other respects, the templates are identical.
- In this example, a different country data template is used, to select an alternative article for the wikilink (in this case,
.svg){kind=link}
_crowned.svg){kind=link}
