Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template/January 2007 rework

A replacement for the current flag system. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template for the current system.

The new system uses the same call syntax and semantics for the front-end templates (the templates editors use on articles or in higher order templates).

Change To
{{country|...}} {{country2|...}} no change
{{flagcountry|...}} {{flagcountry2|...}} no change
{{flagicon|...}} {{flagicon2|...}} no change
{{flag|...}} {{flag2|...}} no change

Implementation-wise, the new system uses a single data template for each country, instead of a template for each parameter of a country, so for example Template:Country data France(edit talk links history) replaces 6 templates (see #Data templates below).

Note that {{country2|flagIOC|..}} is not supported as this has been phased out into Template:FlagIOC(edit talk links history). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Flag Template#Olympic flag usage (flagIOC etc.)
