![]() | 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)
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}} →
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 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}} →
(Use {{fh|IRE}} instead)Ireland
