Template documentation

This template is used on approximately 5,500 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Standard parameters

Parameter name	Value	Meaning
`alias`	`Eswatini`	Main article name (Eswatini)
`flag alias`	`Flag of Eswatini.svg`	Image name (File:Flag of Eswatini.svg, shown on right)

Redirect aliases

This template can also be used via an alias name (implemented as a redirect to this template):

Alias name	`{{flag\|alias}}` output	`{{flagcountry\|alias}}` output
`SWZ` (view)	SWZ	Eswatini
`Swaziland` (view)	Swaziland	Eswatini

See What links here for a full list of redirects.

Example usage

{{flag|Eswatini}} → Eswatini
{{flagicon|Eswatini}} →

Using a redirect alias

{{flagicon|SWZ}} →
{{flagcountry|SWZ}} → Eswatini
{{flag|SWZ}} → SWZ

Other information

Rather than redirecting {{Country data Swaziland}} to {{Country data Eswatini}}, the former template transcludes the latter and passes through all parameters. The linked article will always be "Eswatini", but the displayed name is either "Swaziland" or "Eswatini" based on which of the two templates is used, even in templates that usually have a fixed default display name (such as {{flagcountry}} and {{fb}}). This allows for "Swaziland" to be used in historical contexts without having to also set |name=.

Examples

Template	`Eswatini` output	`Swaziland` output
`{{flag\|SWZ}}`	Eswatini	Swaziland
`{{flagcountry\|SWZ}}`	Eswatini	Eswatini
`{{flagicon\|SWZ}}`
`{{fb\|SWZ}}`	Eswatini	Swaziland
