Module:ISO 3166/sandbox
![]() | This is the module sandbox page for Module:ISO 3166 (diff). See also the companion subpage for test cases (run). |
![]() | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
![]() | This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
![]() | This Lua module is used on 1,090,000+ pages, or roughly 2% 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 returns a country's or subdivision's code (alpha-2, alpha-3, numeric) or name (ISO, non-ISO) from ISO 3166 from a variety of inputs (alpha-2, alpha-3, numeric, name, ISO-name, alternative names). The module also removes junk from the input.
Examples
Countries (ISO 3166-1)
All three types of ISO 3166-1 codes (alpha-2, alpha-3 and numeric) work as inputs to name
, as well as to code
(which can therefore also be used to convert between different code types). Use |codetype=
to output alpha-3 or numeric codes in code
instead of the default alpha-2 codes.
Name
To get the common name use the name function
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GB}}
→ United Kingdom{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GBR}}
→ United Kingdom{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|826}}
→ United Kingdom
ISO Name
To get the ISO name use the name function with isoname = yes
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GB|isoname=yes}}
→ United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GBR|isoname=yes}}
→ United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|826|isoname=yes}}
→ United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Alpha-2
To get the alpha 2 code use the code function
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|826}}
→ GB{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|United Kingdom}}
→ GB{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|UK}}
→ GB
Alpha-3
To get the alpha 3 code use the code function with codetype = 3
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|United Kingdom|codetype=alpha3}}
→ GBR{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GB}}
→ United Kingdom{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GBR}}
→ United Kingdom{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|826}}
→ United Kingdom{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|UK|codetype=alpha3}}
→ GBR
Numeric
To get the numeric code use the code function with codetype = numeric or use the numeric function
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|numeric|GB}}
→ 826{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|GB|codetype=numeric}}
→ 826
Subdivisions (ISO 3166-2)
Inputs to name
must be valid ISO 3166-2 codes, i.e. the country's alpha-2 code for the first part, and up to three alphanumeric characters for the second part. They may be given normally (with a hyphen between the parts), or split between two unnamed parameters. For code
, the first parameter is the country name (or any of its three codes, like above), and the second the subdivision name.
Code (alpha-2)
To get the alpha-2 code of a subdivision use the code function with parameter 1 being the country and parameter 2 being the subdivision
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|United Kingdom|England}}
→ GB-ENG{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|GBR|England}}
→ GB-ENG{{#invoke:ISO 3166|code|GB|England}}
→ GB-ENG
Name
To get the name of a subdivision use the name function with parameter 1 being the country and parameter 2 being the subdivsion or parameter 1 being the subdivsion code
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GB-ENG}}
→ England{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|GB|ENG}}
→ England
|isoname=
works for subnational entities as well; keep in mind that ISO 3166-2 uses (transliterations of) local names that may differ from English ones. Set |lang=
to a language code to switch between different languages for entities that have multiple ISO names. The default language for multilingual entities can be set on the country's data page.
{{#invoke:ISO 3166|name|BE|BRU}}
