Module:Flag

Lua-native alternative to popular flag templates. Can be used to reduce post-expand include size of pages with lots of templates, since it avoids calling multilevel templates.

Usage

• {{flag}} → Template:Ml
• {{flagcountry}} → Template:Ml
• {{flagdeco}} → Template:Ml
• {{flagicon}} → Template:Ml
• {{flag+link}} → Template:Ml
• {{flagathlete}} → Template:Ml
