This is a documentation subpage for Template:Country data Ireland. It may contain 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:
alias = {{#if:{{{variant|}}}|Ireland|Republic of Ireland}}
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}}
→ Ireland (field hockey){{rl|Ireland}}
→ Ireland (rugby league){{ih|Ireland}}
→ Ireland (ice hockey) — all-Ireland team that uses the tri-colour{{ru|Ireland}}
→ Ireland (rugby union){{cr|Ireland}}
→ Ireland (cricket){{quid|Ireland}}
→ Ireland (quidditch)
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}}
→{{fb|IRL}}
→ Republic of 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}}
→Ireland(Use{{fh|IRE}}
instead)
Other flags
