ઢાંચો:Country data Ireland

Template documentation

Template:Country data Ireland is an internal data container not intended to be transcluded directly. It is used indirectly by templates such as flag, flagicon, and others.

This template is within the scope of WikiProject Flag Template, a collaborative effort to maintain flag templates on Wikipedia. A more thorough discussion of the flag template system, including parameters not described here, can be found on the project page.

Standard parameters

Parameter name	Value	Meaning
`alias`	`આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર`	Main article name (આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર)
`shortname alias`	`આયરલેંડ`	(optional) Display name to be used for the wikilink, if `alias` is a disambiguated article name, for example
`flag alias`	`Flag of Ireland.svg`	Image name (File:Flag of Ireland.svg, shown above right)

Flag variants

Label	Flag image (40px)	Image name
`1783`		`Saint Patrick's Saltire.svg`

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
`IRE (`view`)`	IRE	આયરલેંડ
`EIR (`view`)`	ઢાંચો:Country data EIR	ઢાંચો:Country data EIR
`આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર (`view`)`	આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર	Ireland
`આયરલેંડ (`view`)`	ઢાંચો:Country data આયરલેંડ	ઢાંચો:Country data આયરલેંડ

Example usage

{{flag|આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર}} → આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર
{{flagicon|આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર}} →
{{flagcountry|આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર}} → Ireland

Using a flag variant

{{flag|આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર|1783}} → આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર
{{flagicon|આયરલેંડનું ગણતંત્ર|1783}} →

Using a redirect alias

Other information

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:

alias = {{#if:{{{variant|}}}|Ireland|Ireland (state)}}

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}} → આયરલેંડ (football, 1882–1922)
{{fh|Ireland}} → ઢાંચો:Fh (field hockey)
{{rl|Ireland}} → ઢાંચો:Rl (rugby league)
{{ih|Ireland}} → આયરલેંડ (ice hockey) — all-Ireland team that uses the tri-colour
{{ru|Ireland}} → ઢાંચો:Ru (rugby union)
{{cr|Ireland}} → આયરલેંડ (cricket)

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 code IRE is used as an alias for this template to provide similar convenience. For example:

{{flagicon|IRL}} →
{{flagicon|IRE|1783}} →
{{flagicon|IRE|4prov}} →
{{fb|IRL}} → Republic of Ireland (links to Republic of Ireland national football team)
{{fb|IRE}} → આયરલેંડ (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 alias 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}} → ~~ઢાંચો:Fh~~ (Use {{fh|IRE}} instead)
