Template:Flagcountry/doc

Description
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.

Usage examples

 * 1)   → 🇮🇹 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   for this example.  However, flagcountry could be used within other templates (such as infoboxes) so that country codes can be used for those template parameters.
 * 1)   → 🇮🇹 italy
 * Similar to the first example, but with a flag variant parameter to select a historical flag image. Note that the wikilinked article is.
 * 1)   →  undefined
 * In this example, a different country data template is used, to select an alternative article for the wikilink (in this case, ).  Compare with   →  Kingdom of Italy, in which "Kingdom of Italy" is the display text for the wikilink.  Therefore, the choice of   or   depends on the desired display text; in all other respects, the templates are identical.
