Template:Flag displays a flag icon that is 15px high and bordered. This template is used in conjunction with Template:Flag/abbr, which defines the terms that can be used in this template. All of the flag images used in this template can be found at Category:Flag Images.

Usage

{{flag|name}}

name

This is the only parameter in the template and is used for defining which country's information should be used.

The data entered here will provide the icon with its image and caption/tool tip text.
Appropriate settings for this parameter are listed in the table below.
Any text entered should be fully lowercase.
Any special characters (å, é, ì, ô, ū) are not used as they conflict with the wiki's file retrieving system.
If there is no setting or the setting is invalid (i.e. not listed in the table below) the template will display a placeholder flag, . This is used to keep alignment proper in other templates or to indicate an unknown country.

Examples

You type			You get
	`{{flag\|antarctica}}`			Template:Flag/antarctica
	`{{flag\|aq}}`			Template:Flag/aq
	`{{flag\|invalid}}`			Template:Flag/invalid

Valid settings

A flag can be displayed by either using a country's two letter abbreviation, another name for the country, or the full name of the country in the name parameter. An alternate list of two letter abbreviations for countries can be found here.

Adding a flag

If you wish to add a flag, the following requirements must be followed

Image size

Width: equal or less than 23px
Height: equal or less than 15px
Aspect ratio: retained from source flag

If your flag is a custom flag (e.g. ), we recommend a 23x15px flag which has a 2:3 ratio.

Upload

Your flag should be uploaded to File:Flag of <fullflagname>.png
Make sure you add your flag to Category:Flag Images

Update templates

Template:Flag/abbr controls abbreviations and flag names, add your flag with its appropriate abbreviation there
Update the appropriate documentation template at Template:Flag/doc/FirstLetterOfFullFlagName (e.g. Template:Flag/doc/s for Switzerland)
