Template:Team flag/doc

Usage

{{Team flag|nation name|team details|flag variant|optional parameters}}

nation name

The first parameter is mandatory and identifies the name of the nation. Only nations which have held FMS membership are included for flag image generation using this template. The nation's common name in English must be used. Names usually spelled with diacritics and special characters will work using Anglicised versions (i.e. æ > ae).

team details

This parameter is optional, and covers sports team information. It is case-sensitive, so ensure the correct capitalisation is used, such as football or Micras Games. You may also use this parameter for entering Microvision, which will direct to the nation's summary article for their Microvision Song Contest participation, or as a way to display just the nation's flag by using flag. Leave this parameter blank if you don't need it, but don't forget its pipe character if another parameter comes after it.

flag variant

This parameter is again optional, and covers older versions of the nation's flag, based on its file name format. The most common name formatting for such files is the old, old 2, etc addition.

additional parameters

These are a number of different parameters which will change how the template displays, and are all optional. Parameters which will override all other optional parameters are notext=yes which will display the flag image by itself, and nolink=yes which will display the nation name in normal text. Entering MGyear= followed by the year in which a Micras Games took place will link to the nation's participation article for that specific games as long as Micras Games is entered in the second parameter. Lastly, name= will override the name of the nation in the displayed text with a link to the article name entered, while alt= will display an alternative name but continue to link to the nation's article.
