Template:Flag link/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Flag link. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original Template page. |
Description
{{flag link|country|link|variant=optional|size=optional|name=optional}}
Produces a flag icon attached to a wikilinked article. The name of the country is the prefix of the wikilink, but the display text is just the name of the country by itself.
For example, {{flag link|Brazil|at the 2007 Pan American Games}} has the same effect as {{flag decoration|Brazil}} [[Brazil at the 2007 Pan American Games|Brazil]], both producing: 
Brazil.
For the first parameter, see Category:Country data templates and Category:Country data redirects for acceptable values.
