Variant flag image (optional): Parameter 2 is used to display a different version of the flag.; Example: {{flagcountry|France|free}} → France. 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.

[edit] 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
