Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 12,000 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua:

Module:Country alias (sandbox)

This template family is used to display a small flag and name of a country, with a wikilink to the country's page for the specified multi-sport event.

Use {{Flag IOC}} for the Olympic Games.

Usage

{{flagXXX|code|games|athletes}}

code is the three-letter country code used by the IOC, CGF, or FINA.
games is a string with slightly different forms depending on the template used:
- {{flag IOC 2}} takes values in the form <year> <games>, or just <games>
- {{flag IOC}} and {{flag IPC}} use <year> Summer, <year> Winter, or just Summer or Winter
- Games-specific templates such as {{flag CGF}}, {{flag PASO}}, etc, simply take the <year>. See below for a full list of supported "shortcut" templates

The intent is that this template can be used from medal tables and event result tables to point to the right country page. Also, the correct historical flag is chosen based on this string, for countries that had different flags in the past.

athletes is the number of athletes that the nation contributed to the specific Games. It is an optional argument, and will render a small (#) after the nation's name.

In addition to using historical flags when appropriate, the specific name of the games will be selected when appropriate.

Alternatives to avoid Wikipedia's Post-expand include size limit

Pages with many flag icons may come close to or exceed Wikipedia's Post-expand include size limit. In these cases consider {{#invoke:flag|IOC}}/{{#invoke:flag|IOC 2}} instead. For basic use, {{flag IOC|country|games}} can be replaced with {{#invoke:flag|IOC|country|games}}.
