Template:Flag/doc

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.
