Module:Flag
Appearance
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|}}

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}}
