Usage
{{flag|country identifier|optional variant|name=alternative text string|size=maximum width and/or height of the flag image}}
- country identifier is the common name of the country (e.g. "United States"), a common alias (e.g. "US"), or a standard country code such as those listed at ISO 3166-1 alpha-3
- variant is an optional second parameter that can be used to display a flag variation, such as a historical flag. The list of variants for each country is documented on the appropriate template page, such as Template:Country data Germany
- alternative text string, this optional value, specified by the name parameter, is used to display alternative text
- size, this optional value is specified by the size parameter, and is used to specify the maximum width and/or height of the flag image. This parameter is specified using standard image syntax.
See the prefix index for the templates latently called by this one.
Examples
Wiki markup | Displays | Notes |
---|---|---|
{{flag|United States}} |
|
Note that both instances link to United States. |
{{flag|USA}} |
||
{{flag|Bangladesh}} |
||
{{flag|Germany}} |
All three instances link to Germany. In addition to the ISO country codes, those used by FIFA, IOC, etc. are also supported. | |
{{flag|DEU}} |
||
{{flag|GER}} |
||
{{flag|Germany|empire}} |
Flag variations can be used with either country names or country codes. | |
{{flag|DEU|empire}} |
||
{{flag|BAN|1971}} |
||
{{flag|CAN|name=Canadian}} |
The name parameter can be used to change the display string but keep the link to the correct article. | |
{{flag|Canada|1957|name=Canadian}} |
The name parameter can also be used when flag variants are specified. | |
{{flag|Texas}} |
Flags are also available for several sub-national and multi-national entities such as US states, Canadian provinces, and the European Union. A complete list can be found at Category:Country data templates. | |
{{flag|British Columbia|name=BC}} |
||
{{flag|EU}} |
||
{{flag|Switzerland|size=14px}} |
The size parameter can be used to control the image dimensions. 23×15px is the default size for most countries (some entities have a different default size). | |
{{flag|Switzerland|size=28px}} |
