[edit] Usage

The {{country|Action|CountryName}} template is used to display various information about a country.

• Suggested country code modifiers, using format 'Country_code'-'Modifier':
  • Country_code is the usual country identification code.
  • Modifier is an identification of the specific flag.
  • Examples:
    • USA-48: the 48-star flag of the United States.
    • USA-MN: the USA state of Minnesota.
    • Russia-SFSR: Flag of Russia while member of USSR.
    • Brazil-imperial: Imperial flag of Brazil.
    • Brazil-1889: The temporary flag of Brazil for 5 days in 1889.

• {{flag}}: {{flag|CountryName}}: Flag icon with text linked to country page. (implemented with country|flag)
• country|flag: {{country|flag|CountryName}}: Flag icon with text linked to country page.
• {{ISO}}: {{ISO|CountryName}}: Same as country|flagISO.
• country|flagISO: {{country|flagISO|CountryName}}: Flag icon with text linked to country page; name is an ISO 3166-1 country code.
• country|flagIOC: {{country|flagIOC|CountryName}}: Flag icon with text linked to country's Olympics page; name is an International Olympic Committee country code (see List of IOC country codes).
  • Country code usage:
    1. An IOC country code should be used only for general reference to that country's Olympic activities.
       • At present an IOC country code will create a link to that nation's recent Olympics page, as there is no Olympics page for each country.
    2. Names such as flagIOC-2000 should be used for Games which have detailed coverage. This ensures that links will point to specific Games despite future changes.
    3. Use modified country codes such as RUS-SFSR for historical references to Games where a country's reference has changed (ie, different flag).
