Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template/January 2007 rework

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A replacement for the current flag system. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template for the current system.

The new system uses the same call syntax and semantics for the front-end templates (the templates editors use on articles or in higher order templates).

Change	To
{{country|...}}	{{country2|...}} no change
{{flagcountry|...}}	{{flagcountry2|...}} no change
{{flagicon|...}}	{{flagicon2|...}} no change
{{flag|...}}	{{flag2|...}} no change

Implementation-wise, the new system uses a single data template for each country, instead of a template for each parameter of a country, so for example Template:Country data France (edit talk links history) replaces 6 templates (see #Data templates below).

Note that {{country2|flagIOC|..}} is not supported as this has been phased out into Template:FlagIOC (edit talk links history). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Flag Template#Olympic flag usage (flagIOC etc.)

Update: template:flagicon now uses the same template code as template:flagicon2 (--Ligulem 13:43, 25 January 2007 (UTC))

Update: template:flagcountry now uses the same template code as template:flagcountry2 (--Ligulem 17:23, 25 January 2007 (UTC))

Update: template:flag now uses the same template code as template:flag2 (--Ligulem 17:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC))

Update: template:country now uses the same template code as template:country2 (--Ligulem 14:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC))
