 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Country data Ireland. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is intended to be used for all-Ireland instances, usually resulting in a wikilink to Ireland (article about the island) instead of Republic of Ireland (article about the sovereign nation).
However, it is often convenient to use {{flagicon|Ireland}} and {{flag|Ireland}} instead of {{flagicon|Republic of Ireland}} and {{flag|Republic of Ireland}} respectively, so this template differs from the standard format in order to accommodate that usage. The alias parameter changes depending on whether or not a flag variant is used by the parent template call: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> alias = Republic of Ireland </syntaxhighlight> This results in
- {{flag|Ireland|1783}} →
Ireland (use for Ireland as part of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland) - {{flag|Ireland}} →
Ireland (use for current state)
Sporting teams
Also, several sport-specific flag variants are maintained here, and these are automatically used by the respective sport team templates:
- {{fb|Ireland}} → Ireland (football, 1882–1922)
- {{fh|Ireland}} → Template:Fh (field hockey)
- {{rl|Ireland}} → Error creating thumbnail: About to transcode 1 SVG file(s) Converting Four_Provinces_Flag.svg to /var/www/html/w/images/temp/transform_f778c8799740.png ... org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException: null Enclosed Exception: file:/var/www/html/w/images/temp/svg_d9ac63ef17964e74945f9845/Four_Provinces_Flag.svg:-1 The attribute "xlink:href" of the element <use> is required at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(SVGAbstractTranscoder.java:228) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.image.ImageTranscoder.transcode(ImageTranscoder.java:92) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.XMLAbstractTranscoder.transcode(XMLAbstractTranscoder.java:142) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(SVGAbstractTranscoder.java:158) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.SVGConverter.transcode(SVGConverter.java:1008) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.SVGConverter.execute(SVGConverter.java:719) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main.execute(Main.java:956) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main.main(Main.java:1009) Caused by: org.apache.batik.bridge.BridgeException: file:/var/www/html/w/images/temp/svg_d9ac63ef17964e74945f9845/Four_Provinces_Flag.svg:-1 The attribute "xlink:href" of the element <use> is required at org.apache.batik.bridge.SVGUseElementBridge.buildCompositeGraphicsNode(SVGUseElementBridge.java:120) at org.apache.batik.bridge.SVGUseElementBridge.createGraphicsNode(SVGUseElementBridge.java:98) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildGraphicsNode(GVTBuilder.java:213) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildComposite(GVTBuilder.java:171) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildGraphicsNode(GVTBuilder.java:219) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildComposite(GVTBuilder.java:171) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildGraphicsNode(GVTBuilder.java:219) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildComposite(GVTBuilder.java:171) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.build(GVTBuilder.java:82) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(SVGAbstractTranscoder.java:210) ... 7 more ... error (SVGConverter.error.while.rasterizing.file)Ireland (rugby league)

Use of country code aliases
The standard country code for the Republic of Ireland is IRL, so it can be used as an alias for Template:Country data Republic of Ireland. The non-standard country codes IRE and EIR are used as aliases for this template to provide similar convenience. For example:
- {{flagicon|IRL}} →
- {{flagicon|IRE|1783}} →
- {{flagicon|IRE|4prov}} → Error creating thumbnail: About to transcode 1 SVG file(s) Converting Four_Provinces_Flag.svg to /var/www/html/w/images/temp/transform_431f06b74b04.png ... org.apache.batik.transcoder.TranscoderException: null Enclosed Exception: file:/var/www/html/w/images/temp/svg_53dda0d95db6bda08cd127d5/Four_Provinces_Flag.svg:-1 The attribute "xlink:href" of the element <use> is required at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(SVGAbstractTranscoder.java:228) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.image.ImageTranscoder.transcode(ImageTranscoder.java:92) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.XMLAbstractTranscoder.transcode(XMLAbstractTranscoder.java:142) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(SVGAbstractTranscoder.java:158) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.SVGConverter.transcode(SVGConverter.java:1008) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.SVGConverter.execute(SVGConverter.java:719) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main.execute(Main.java:956) at org.apache.batik.apps.rasterizer.Main.main(Main.java:1009) Caused by: org.apache.batik.bridge.BridgeException: file:/var/www/html/w/images/temp/svg_53dda0d95db6bda08cd127d5/Four_Provinces_Flag.svg:-1 The attribute "xlink:href" of the element <use> is required at org.apache.batik.bridge.SVGUseElementBridge.buildCompositeGraphicsNode(SVGUseElementBridge.java:120) at org.apache.batik.bridge.SVGUseElementBridge.createGraphicsNode(SVGUseElementBridge.java:98) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildGraphicsNode(GVTBuilder.java:213) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildComposite(GVTBuilder.java:171) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildGraphicsNode(GVTBuilder.java:219) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildComposite(GVTBuilder.java:171) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildGraphicsNode(GVTBuilder.java:219) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.buildComposite(GVTBuilder.java:171) at org.apache.batik.bridge.GVTBuilder.build(GVTBuilder.java:82) at org.apache.batik.transcoder.SVGAbstractTranscoder.transcode(SVGAbstractTranscoder.java:210) ... 7 more ... error (SVGConverter.error.while.rasterizing.file)
- {{fb|IRL}} → Ireland (links to Republic of Ireland national football team)
- {{fb|IRE}} or {{fb|EIR}} → Ireland (links to Ireland national football team (1882–1950))
Incorrect usage
Do not use the IRL alias for all-Ireland sports team, and do not use the IRE/EIR aliases without a flag variant specified. The following examples should not be used.
- {{flagicon|IRE}} → (Works, but better to use the standard country code for IRL.)
- {{fh|IRL}} →
Template:Fh(Use {{fh|IRE}} instead)
