Template:Getalias2

{{{}}}

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a more general version of {{Getalias}}, which can extract any parameter value from a country data template instead of just parameters named "... alias" or "... alias-...".

Examples

• {{getalias2|United Kingdom|flag alias}} → Flag of the United Kingdom.svg (the value of |flag alias= in {{Country data United Kingdom}})
• {{getalias2|Georgia (U.S. state)|shortname alias}} → Georgia (the value of |shortname alias= in {{Country data Georgia (U.S. state)}})
• {{getalias2|Nepal|border}} → (nothing, since |border= is set to nothing in {{Country data Nepal}})
• {{getalias2|Russia|border}} → {{{border}}} (no |border= parameter is defined in {{Country data Russia}})
• {{getalias2|Nepal|size}} → (in {{Country data Nepal}}, the {{{size}}} parameter is passed through with fallback value 23x20px)
• {{getalias2|Russia|size}} → (in {{Country data Russia}}, the {{{size}}} parameter is passed through with empty fallback value)

Usage with variant

The |variant= parameter can be used to extract a variant parameter value, and returns the main parameter value if the variant parameter is undefined:

• {{getalias2|United Kingdom|flag alias|variant=civil}} → Civil Ensign of the United Kingdom.svg (the value of |flag alias-civil=)
• {{getalias2|United Kingdom|flag alias|variant=foo}} → Flag of the United Kingdom.svg (non-existent variant; returns the value of |flag alias= as fallback)
