Usage

This infobox is intended to be used indirectly on all the "Country at the year Olympics" pages. It is a meta-template that is used for the common layout of per-country infoboxes.

Parameters

There are two sets of parameters for this infobox. Some will be common for all instances of a single country, so these are specified once in templates such as {{Infobox Olympics Greece}}. Others are specific for each Games, and would therefore be specified as parameters to the per-country template on individual pages such as Greece at the 1896 Summer Olympics.

NOC

three letter country code, as per List of IOC country codes

NOCname

name (or wikilink) to the article of this country's National Olympic Committee

games

year, plus "Summer" or "Winter", as in "2004 Summer" or "2006 Winter"

flagcaption

optional, replaces the default caption for the nation's flag, which is a wikilink to the appropriate "Flag of Country" article. This automatic link might not always work (for example [[Flag of the United Kingdom]] is most appropriate for GBR, instead of the automatically created caption of [[Flag of Great Britain]]

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the organisation's details parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a reader, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

Sub-templates

• If the organisation has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).
• If the organisation has a URL, use {{URL}}.
• If the organisation has a "coordinates" field, use {{Coord}} to include a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit.

Please do not remove instances of these sub-templates.
