==Description==
<code><nowiki>{{flaglink|country|link|variant=optional|size=optional|name=optional}}</nowiki></code>

Produces a flag icon attached to a wikilinked article.  The name of the country is the prefix of the wikilink, but the display text is just the name of the country by itself.

For example, <code><nowiki>{{flaglink|Brazil|at the 2007 Pan American Games}}</nowiki></code> has the same effect as <code><nowiki>{{flagdeco|Brazil}} [[Brazil at the 2007 Pan American Games|Brazil]]</nowiki></code>, both producing: {{flaglink|Brazil|at the 2007 Pan American Games}}.

For the first parameter, see [[:Category:Country data templates]] and [[:Category:Country data redirects]] for acceptable values.
