Şablon:Flagicon/doc

Description

Displays a flag of the named parameter in "icon" size, currently 22x20 pixels plus a one pixel border. The image also has a clickable link to the associated article.

Usage

{{flagicon|name|variant=|size=}}

name: The first parameter is mandatory, and identifies the name of the country, region, city, etc. A full list of available parameters can be found in Category:Country data templates. For example, Template:Country data Bulgaria is used when the name parameter is specified as Bulgaria. Many flags are also available via shortened "aliases", such as standard three letter country codes as specified by ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, IOC, or FIFA. The list of available "aliases" are found in Category:Country data redirects. Many of these country codes could be considered obscure, so it is recommended to use the full country name.
variant: The second parameter is optional, and identifies a flag variant to be used instead of the standard flag. This is most often used for historical flags but can also be used to specify naval flags, sport-use flags, etc. The list of available flag variants for each country is documented on the specific page for the country data template. For example, Template:Country data Bulgaria includes a description of each of the available flag variations for Bulgaria. This parameter can be a named parameter (e.g. "variant=1815"), or a positional parameter, always after the country name.
size: This parameter is optional, and is used to specify the maximum width and/or height of the flag image. This parameter is specified using standard image syntax.

Implementation notes

This template uses the data templates listed under Category:Country data templates, which contain the data what to display and the formatter Template:Flagicon/core, which contains the logic how to display the flag.

{{flagicon|Bulgaria}} → Şablon:Melumatê dewleta Bulgaria Bulgaria

— uses Template:Country data Bulgaria

{{flagicon|BuL}} → Şablon:Melumatê dewleta BUL BUL

— uses Template:Country data BUL, which is a redirect to Template:Country data Bulgaria

Inside each country data template, this template uses the following parameters:

flag alias — name of the image file to display
flag alias-xxxx — name of the image file of flag variant xxxx
alias — used to display the alt attribute of the image (defaults to "Flag of alias")

Template:Flagcountry is also used to display a wikilinked name next to the flag. The displayed name will always be the same, regardless of whether or not a country code alias is used as the template parameter.
