Module:Flags/doc

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by QuimGil (talk | contribs) at 01:10, 21 June 2013. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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:

  • Full name in English or the locale language: "Andorra".  
  • 2 letter code: "GB"  
  • 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 is 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"  

Roadmap

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

  • Performance testing.
  • Extensive testing with copies of real pages, also for non-Latin scripts and Right-to-left languages.
