Developer documentation

How this template works

1. Template:Flag takes the input parameter and calls a sub-template at "Template:Flag/X". For example, {{flag|united nations}} will call Template:Flag/united nations.
2. This sub-template then in turn calls Template:Flag icon, supplying it with a single parameter ({{Flag icon|X}}). For example, Template:Flag/united nations supplies Template:Flag icon with the single parameter United Nations
3. Template:Flag icon calls for a flag image at "File:Flag of X.png", and applies formatting such as sizing and a 1px border. For example, if Template:Flag icon is given the parameter United Nations, it will supply File:Flag of United Nations.png (
   Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination
   ).

• Many of the sub-templates (such as the abbreviations and alternate names) are simple redirects to a primary sub-template. For example, Template:Flag/un, Template:Flag/global, Template:Flag/international and Template:Flag/world all redirect to Template:Flag/united nations. Template:Flag/united nations is the primary sub-template which then calls Template:Flag icon.

How to add a flag

If you wish to add a flag, the following requirements must be followed:

Image size

• Width: equal or less than 23px
• Height: equal or less than 15px
• Aspect ratio: retained from source flag

If your flag is a custom flag (e.g.

Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

), we recommend a 23x15px flag which has a 2:3 ratio.

Upload

• Your flag should be uploaded to File:Flag of ProperFlagName.png, where ProperFlagName is the full name of your flag with correct capitalization
• Make sure you add your flag image to Category:Flag Images.

Update templates

• Create a template at Template:Flag/lowercaseflagname, where lowercaseflagname is the full name of your flag in complete lowercase. This template should contain the code below:

{{Flag icon|'''ProperFlagName'''}}<noinclude>[[Category:Flag sub-templates]]</noinclude>

• Create a template at Template:Flag/abbr, where abbr is the lowercase abbreviation of your flag. This template should be a simple redirect to the primary sub-template (Template:Flag/lowercaseflagname)
  • If your template has any alternate names or abbreviations, create them as simple redirects to the primary sub-template as well
• Add your flag to the correct table in the documentation template.
