Description
sunting{{flagcountry|nation|variant|size=}}
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
- nation — Use either the name of the nation or in some cases, a three-letter country code (e.g. ISO 3166-1 alpha-3)
- variant (optional) — 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.
