Usage
{{flagicon|name|variant=|size=|noredlink=}}
- name
- The first parameter is mandatory, and identifies the name of the country, region, city, etc. A full list of available values 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" is 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.
