This Lua module is used on approximately 324,000 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|}}
{{flag country}} → {{#invoke:flag|country}}
{{flag decoration}} (or {{flagdeco}}) → {{#invoke:flag|decoration}} (or {{#invoke:flag|deco}})
{{flag icon}} → {{#invoke:flag|icon}}
{{flag link}} → {{#invoke:flag|link}}
{{flag+link}} → {{#invoke:flag|+link}}

Sports flag templates

{{flag athlete}} → {{#invoke:flag|athlete}}
{{flag medalist}} → {{#invoke:flag|medalist}}
{{flag IOC}} → {{#invoke:flag|IOC}}
{{flag IOC 2}} → {{#invoke:flag|IOC 2}}
{{flag IOC athlete}} → {{#invoke:flag|IOC athlete}}
{{fb}} → {{#invoke:flag|fb}}
{{fb-rt}} → {{#invoke:flag|fb-rt}}
{{fbicon}} → {{#invoke:flag|fbicon}}
{{ru}} → {{#invoke:flag|ru}}

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}}.
