Template:Flag/doc

Shows a small sprite of a country flag, using icons from the famfamfam flag icon set.

Usage

The template takes a single parameter, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of the desired country.

• US — Flag of the United States of America
• FR — Flag of France

Note that this may not always be the obvious code for the country. For example:

• GB — Flag of the United Kingdom (Great Britain)
• DE — Flag of Germany (Deutschland)
• CH — Flag of Switzerland (Confoederatio Helvetica)

A few other flags are included for other entities, which may be used (but in most situations probably shouldn't be):

• CAT — Catalonia
• EU — Europe
• GB-ENGLAND — England
• GB-SCOTLAND — Scotland
• GB-WALES — Wales

Known problems

The famfamfam icon set is rather old (from 2005, in fact), and now contains some errors and omissions, including:

• CD — Democratic Republic of the Congo. Modified flag in 2006.
• EC — Ecuador. Icon is missing the flag's central seal (making it visually identical to the flag of Colombia).
• EH — Western Sahara. Icon displays the flag's reverse side.
• IQ — Iraq. Modified flag in 2008.
• LS — Lesotho. Introduced new flag in 2016.
• LY — Libya. Introduced new flag in 2011.
• MM — Myanmar. Introduced new flag in 2010.
• MR — Mauritania. Modified flag in 2017.
• RS — Serbia. Modified flag in 2010.
• SS — South Sudan. Missing; became sovereign in 2011.
• XK — Kosovo. Missing; became sovereign in 2008.
