This module is rated as beta, and is ready for widespread use. It is still new and should be used with some caution to ensure the results are as expected. |
This Lua module is used on approximately 320,000 pages, or roughly 1% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the module's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own module sandbox. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module depends on the following other modules: |
Lua-native alternative to popular flag templates. Can be used to reduce post-expand include size of pages with lots of templates, since it avoids calling multilevel templates.
Usage
Generic flag templates
- {{flag}} → {{#invoke:flag|}}
- {{flag country}} → {{#invoke:flag|country}}

- {{flag icon}} → {{#invoke:flag|icon}}
- {{flag link}} → {{#invoke:flag|link}}
- {{flag+link}} → {{#invoke:flag|+link}}
Sports flag templates
- {{flag athlete}} → {{#invoke:flag|athlete}}
- {{flag medalist}} → {{#invoke:flag|medalist}}
- {{flag team}} → {{#invoke:flag|team}}
- {{flag IOC}} → {{#invoke:flag|IOC}}
- {{flag IOC 2}} → {{#invoke:flag|IOC 2}}
- {{flag IOC athlete}} → {{#invoke:flag|IOC athlete}}
- {{fb}} → {{#invoke:flag|fb}}

Caveats
When used inside a template, parameters from that template are passed to the module. This can be useful in some situations, but can lead to conflicts (for example, if the parent template has a parameter |country=
that is unrelated to the flag it is supposed to display). To prevent this behavior, add the |frameonly=
parameter to the module call, e.g. {{#invoke:flag|deco|CHN|frameonly=true}}
