Template:Navy/doc

For the template documentation of the template that changes text color, see Template:Navy (color)/doc.

Usage

{{navy|nation|variant|size=optional|name=optional}}

Produces a flag icon attached to a wikilinked national navy article.

Parameters

• nation — Use either the name of the nation or the three-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country code
• variant (optional) — Specifies an alternate (historical) naval flag to use. This parameter is documented by the appropriate template in Category:Country data templates. Note that the standard behaviour of this template is to use the naval variant if present, so there is no need to specify this variant in the template call.
• size (optional) — Can be used to change the flag icon size
• name (optional) — Can be used to change the wikilink display text

• {{flagicon|CHN|naval}} →
• {{flagicon|Japan|naval}} →

Implementation notes

By default, this template shows the standard national flag for the selected country, following by a wikilink to "Country Navy". Both of these items can be changed by adding specific parameters to the appropriate country_data template (complete set found in Category:Country data templates).

To use a different flag, such as the naval ensign for the nation, use:

flag alias-naval = image name of naval ensign

To use a different name for the wikilinked navy article, use:

link alias-naval = article name
