Description
{{flag+link|string|country|variant|size=|name=}}
Produces a flag icon attached to a wikilinked article. This template is similar to the more widely used {{flag}} and {{flagcountry}} templates, but is more useful for representing something like a country/region/place/organization/etc followed by a link, labelled using that country/region/etc's name, to an article on some aspect of that country/region/etc.
- Parameters
|1=(first unnamed parameter): Use a string that will precede the country name defined in the second parameter.|2=(second unnamed parameter): Use either the name of the state or in some cases, a three-letter country code (e.g. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)|variant=(optional parameter): Specifies an alternative (historical) flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in Category:Country data templates.|size=(optional): Can be used to change the flag icon size.|name=(optional): The display text of the target wikilink is usually automatically generated, but can always be over-ridden with the name parameter.
Usage examples
{{flag+link|Politics of|LIE}}→ Lua error in Module:Flagg at line 70: attempt to call field 'getcachedtable' (a nil value). [[Template:Country data LIE|Template:Country data LIE]]- In this case, the country code for Liechtenstein (LIE) is used to produce the correct flag and wikilink to Politics of Liechtenstein.
{{flag+link|Politics of|LIE|variant=1719}}→ Lua error in Module:Flagg at line 70: attempt to call field 'getcachedtable' (a nil value). [[Template:Country data LIE|Template:Country data LIE]]- Similar to the first example, but with a flag variant parameter to select a historical flag image.
{{flag+link|Sport in|Czech Republic|name=Czechia}}→ Lua error in Module:Flagg at line 70: attempt to call field 'getcachedtable' (a nil value). Czechia- Optionally, an alternate name can be displayed. Note that the wikilink still uses the name used in the country's article (defined in Template:Country data Czech Republic in this case).
{{flag+link|Disc golf in|North Korea}}→ Lua error in Module:Flagg at line 70: attempt to call field 'getcachedtable' (a nil value). North Korea- If no article exists with the name formed by the combination of string and name, the link will default to [[name]].
{{flag+link|Disc golf in|North Korea}}, for instance, produces Lua error in Module:Flagg at line 70: attempt to call field 'getcachedtable' (a nil value). North Korea with "North Korea" as a link to North Korea because Disc golf in North Korea does not exist.
- If no article exists with the name formed by the combination of string and name, the link will default to [[name]].
To specify a width for the icon and/or a particular variant/version of the flag, set the parameters |size= and/or |variant= in the same manner as {{flagicon}}'s size and variant parameters. (See {{flagicon}}'s documentation for more details.)
