Template:Expensive

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

  1. {{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.
  2. {{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.
  3. {{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).
  4. {{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.

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.)
