Template:Flagcountry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{country data {{{1}}} | country flagcountry2 | countryname = {{{1}}} | variant = | size = | name =

}}

Displays the flag and the name of a country, linked to the main article of that country (flag + country).

The first parameter is mandatory and identifies the name of the country.

Examples:

• {{flagcountry|France}} =  France
• {{flagcountry|FRA}} =  France

Optional parameters:

• {{flagcountry|France|size=40px}} =  France — to use a non-default flag size
• {{flagcountry|France|name=C'est la France}} =  C'est la France — to produce a non-default link-text
• {{flagcountry|France|free}} =  France — to use a flag variant. In this example, the historical flag for Free France (1940-1945) is identified by the second parameter of "free". The list of flag variants is specific for each country.

Implementation

This template uses the data templates listed under category:country data templates, which contain the data what to display (Example: template:country data France) and the formatter template:country flagcountry2, which contains the logic how to display the country data.

• {{flagcountry|France}} =  France — uses template:country data France
• {{flagcountry|FRA}} =  France — uses template:country data FRA, which is a redirect to template:country data France

Related templates

• template:flagicon — to display the flag alone
  • {{flagicon|France}} =
  • {{flagicon|FRA}} =
• template:flag — similar to flagcountry, but uses the input parameter as the display text for the link
  • {{flag|France}} =  France
  • {{flag|FRA}} =  FRA
