Usage

{{flag|name}}

name

This is the only parameter in the template and is used for defining which country's information should be used.

• The data entered here will provide the icon with its image and caption/tool tip text.
• Appropriate settings for this parameter are listed in the table below.
• Any text entered should be fully lowercase.
• Any special characters (å, é, ì, ô, ū) are not used as they conflict with the wiki's file retrieving system.
• If there is no setting or the setting is invalid (i.e. not listed in the table below) the template will display a placeholder flag,
  Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
  . This is used to keep alignment proper in other templates or to indicate an unknown country.

Examples

You type			You get
	{{flag|antarctica}}			Template:Flag/antarctica
	{{flag|aq}}			Template:Flag/aq
	{{flag|invalid}}			Template:Flag/invalid

Valid settings

A flag can be displayed by either using a country's two letter abbreviation, another name for the country, or the full name of the country in the name parameter. An alternate list of two letter abbreviations for countries can be found here.
