Template:Flag/doc

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
