This template is used to automatically generate documentation for standard flag templates.

Usage

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

Template documentation

Description

{{ISO}}

Renders a flag icon and wikilink to [[Template:Country data Country name|Template:Country data Country name]]. This template is equivalent to {{flag|Country name}}, but is named after the standard three letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code for Country name as a shorthand editing convenience.
You can also use {{IOC}} or {{FIFA}} (which are redirects to this template) because "IOC" is the IOC code and "FIFA" is the FIFA code for Country name.

Parameters

Country name – matches the parameter used with {{flag}} within the flag template itself

ISO – ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code

IOC – IOC country code

FIFA – FIFA country code

If any of the three codes are not applicable for a particular country, leave the respective parameters blank.

This template is placed on the flag template itself (similar to how the {{documentation}} template is placed). This template depends on the mandatory existence of a /doc subpage, which is only used to transclude interwiki links.
