Template:Flagu/sandbox

This template is used to display a small flag icon next to an unlinked country name. It is an alternative to the {{flag}} and {{flagcountry}} templates, for use in instances where the country name should not be linked, per WP:OVERLINK.

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template for the main documentation/discussion page for the flag templates system.

Usage

• variant is an optional second parameter that can be used to display a flag variation, such as a historical flag. The list of variants for each country is documented on the appropriate template page, such as Template:Country data Germany
