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, Unknown. This is used to keep alignment proper in other templates or to indicate an unknown country.

Adding a flag

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

Image size

If your flag is a custom flag (e.g. North America), 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)
