Description

{{flag country|nation|variant|size=|name=}}

Produces a flag icon attached to a wikilinked article. This template is similar to the more widely used {{flag}} template, but is more useful for two situations described below.

Parameters

|1= (first unnamed parameter): Use either the name of the nation or in some cases, a three-letter country code (e.g. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)
|variant= or |2= (optional parameter): Specifies an alternative (historical) flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in Category:Country data templates.
|size= (optional): Can be used to change the flag icon size.
|name= (optional): The display text of the target wikilink is usually automatically generated, but can always be over-ridden with the name parameter.

Usage examples

{{flag country|ITA}} → Italy
In this case, the country code for Italy (ITA) is used to produce the correct flag and wikilink. In many cases, it would probably be preferable to use {{flag}} to produce the same result, such as {{flag|Italy}} for this example. However, {{flag country}} could be used within other templates (such as infoboxes) so that country codes can be used for those template parameters.
{{flag country|ITA|1861}} → Italy
Similar to the first example, but with a flag variant parameter to select a historical flag image. (The wikilinked article is [[Italy]].)
{{flag country|Kingdom of Italy}} → Italy
In this example, a different country data template is used, to select an alternative article for the wikilink (in this case, [[Kingdom of Italy|Italy]]). Compare with {{flag|Kingdom of Italy}} → Kingdom of Italy, in which "Kingdom of Italy" is the display text for the wikilink. Therefore, the choice of flag country or flag depends on the desired display text; in all other respects, the templates are identical.
{{flag country|South Korea|name=Korea}} → Korea
