Wikipedia:WikiProject Football/National teams/Referencing templates

This is a page to keep track of all referencing templates to national football teams, including historical differences. Every referencing template contains the national flag, the name of the national football team, and the link to the national footall team page.

How to use: the coding follows the List of FIFA country codes, which designates a 3-letter code to each national association. For example, the country code for Germany is GER.

• To use the referencing template of a country, type code+f. For example, the referencing template of Germany is {{GERf}}, displaying Template:GERf.

• To reverse the flag and the country name, type code+f2. For example, the referencing teamplte {{GERf2}} displays Template:GERf2. Note that not all of these templates have been created.

• Sometimes the name of a country was changed in the past, and we need to use a referencing template which displays the old name. Usually FIFA has designated another code for this historical name. For example, the country code for West Germany is FRG, and the referencing template of West Germany is {{FRGf}}, displaying Template:FRGf. Consult the tables below for the time period of the historical name.

• Sometimes the flag of a country was changed in the past, and we need to use a referencing tempalte which displays the old flag. The referencing template for this purpose is usually code+fold, although other more descriptive names can be used. For example, the referencing template {{GERfold}} displays Template:GERfold, using the flag of Germany for the periods 1908-1918 and 1933-1935, while the referencing template {{GERfnazi}} displays Template:GERfnazi, using the flag of Germany for the period 1936-1945. Consult the tables below for the time period of the historical flag.

• In the future, we may consider creating templates for national associations and national women's football teams.
