Template:Country data Ireland

Template documentation[ purge ]

Template:Country data Ireland 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`	`United Ireland`	Main article name (United Ireland)

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

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.

Wikipedia's help about TemplateData • Commons-specific information

This template should not be used directly. It is used indirectly by flag templates such as Template:Flag and Template:Flagicon. See Category:Flag template system for a full list of flag templates and Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template for further documentation.
