State flags
Country_data templates are also available for each of the fifty U.S. states and the District of Columbia:
Unincorporated territory flags
Country_data templates are also available for several organized territories of the United States. Many of the unorganized territories are either uninhabited or have no indigenous inhabitants, and also do not have unique flags. For those, please use {{flagicon|United States}}.
Military branch flags
Country_data templates are also available for some U.S. military branches.
TemplateData
- 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.

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.
