Template:Country data Netherlands

Template documentation[ purge ]

Template:Country data Netherlands is an internal data container not intended to be transcluded directly. It is used indirectly by templates such as {{flag}}, {{flagcountry}}, and others.

This template is within the scope of WikiProject Flag Template, a collaborative effort to maintain flag templates on Wikipedia. A more thorough discussion of the flag template system, including parameters not described here, can be found on the project page.

Standard parameters

Parameter name	Value	Meaning
alias	Netherlands	Main article name (Netherlands)
flag alias	Flag of the Netherlands.svg	Image name (File:Flag of the Netherlands.svg, shown on right)

Flag variants

These variants cannot be used unless the line | variant = {{{variant|}}} is added to this template.

Label	Flag image (40px)	Image name
prinsengeus		Naval Jack of the Netherlands.svg
air force		Flag of the Royal Netherlands Air Force.svg
army		Flag of the Royal Netherlands Army.svg

Military ensigns

This nation's naval ensign is the same as its national flag, so {{naval ensign}} produces the following:

• {{naval ensign|Netherlands}} → Royal Netherlands Navy
  

This template includes an air force ensign flag variant that can be used with {{air force flag}}:

• {{air force flag|Netherlands}} → Royal Netherlands Air Force
• {{flagicon3|Netherlands|air force}} →
  

This template includes an army ensign flag variant that can be used with {{army}}:

• {{army|Netherlands}} → Template:Army
• {{flagicon3|Netherlands|army}} →

Alias name	{{flag|alias}} output	{{flagcountry|alias}} output
NLD (view)	Template:Country data NLD	Template:Country data NLD

The Netherlands (view)	Template:Country data The Netherlands	Template:Country data The Netherlands

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
