Module:Country listdata

Module documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template formats a list of country data templates, for use as "see also" in the documentation of such templates.

Parameters

1, 2, ..., n

Each numbered parameter is a country, subdivision or other entity name, corresponding to what you would use as first parameter in flag templates such as {{flag}}.

var1, var2, ..., varn

Specify flag variants for the corresponding entities. The variant name is displayed in brackets.

note1, note2, ..., noten

Add explanatory text to the right of each row.

header

Inserts a standardized text above the list. Possible values are "related", "for:" followed by any text, or anything else for custom text.

Examples

{{country listdata|Afghanistan|Albania|Algeria}} →

Template:Country data Afghanistan	Afghanistan
Template:Country data Albania	Albania
Template:Country data Algeria	Algeria

Using variants and notes:

{{country listdata|Australia|var1=naval|Brazil|note2=This is a note}} →

Template:Country data Australia (naval variant)	Australia
Template:Country data Brazil	Brazil	This is a note

In the parameter list, parameters with empty strings or whitespace only are allowed and not included in the output, so parameters can be safely emptied to remove a country. Undefined "gaps", however, such as parameter 6 in this example, will cause all higher-number parameters to be ignored.

{{country listdata|1=Afghanistan|2=Albania|3= |4=Algeria|5=Andorra|7=Angola|8=Antigua and Barbuda}} →

Template:Country data Afghanistan	Afghanistan
Template:Country data Albania	Albania
Template:Country data Algeria	Algeria
Template:Country data Andorra	Andorra
