Module:Flags/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Module:Flags.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original module page.

All the logics of Template:FlagiconLua are handled here. This module works together with Module:Sandbox/QuimGil/FlagTranslations, where the flags data is maintained.

Features

Functionality implemented:

Recognition of flags based on the full name parameter in English or the locale language e.g. "Andorra".
Recognition of flags based on the 3 letter code e.g. "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 "44px" or "40x44px" can be defined in the second or third parameter positions.
- FIXME "size=" format still not implement due to a weird problem causing that this parameter renders as "{{{2}}}" instead of passing e.g. "size=44px".

Roadmap

What is missing to reach feature parity with Template:Flagicon:

size= parameter for different sizes.
variant=YYYY and its shortcut YYYY for historical flags.
naval and air force variants.
Performance testing.
Extensive testing with copies of real pages, also for non-Latin scripts and Right-to-left languages.
