All the logics of Template:Flags are handled here. This module works together with Module:Sandbox/QuimGil/FlagMaster and Module:Sandbox/QuimGil/FlagTranslations, where the flags data is maintained.
Features
Functionality implemented:
- Full name in English or the locale language: "Andorra".
- 2 letter code: "AD"
- 3 letter code: "AND"
- Nepal and Ohio flags are shown without border.
- When a name is not found in the list, attempts to offer a Commons image and a link e.g. "Berlin" or "WHO".
- Size as in "size=44px" or "size=40x44px" can be defined in any position.
- Nepal, Switzerland and Vatican City have a default size of 20x17px (for the rest it's 20x22px):
- Variants for historical flags "1901"
or "variant=1901" (for compatibility reasons) - Variants for labeled flags: "naval", "air force" and any other specified at FlagTranslations: "civil"
- "naval-RMAS" - Variant / label flags not found in FlagTranslations return the Flag of None but still point to the right article: "whatever" - "quatsch"
- Redirects (different names pointing to a same flag) are supported: "GB"
- "UK" - Localization: "Illes Balears"
- "中華人民共和國" File:Flag of 中華人民共和國.svg - Localization + variants: "Afganistan" + "1901" - "Regne Unit" + "civil"
- Flags listed only in FlagTranslations always link to the local language article: parameter "Native Peoples of Colombia" File:Flag of Pueblos Indígenas de Colombia.svg links to "Pueblos Indígenas de Colombia"
Roadmap
- Possibility of defining the full name of a flag in Commons by using "File:" in the table values.
- Also by users specifying "File:" in the parameter? Easy to implement but do we want so much freedom for editors?
- Performance testing.
- Extensive testing with copies of real pages, also for non-Latin scripts and Right-to-left languages.
- Cover the rest of functionality offered by other flag templates.
- Allow editors to define the year of the event, leaving to the template the task of finding the right flag.
