Template:Country data Eswatini

Template documentation

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

Standard parameters

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

Example usage

• {{flag|Eswatini}} → Eswatini
• {{flagicon|Eswatini}} →
• {{flagcountry|Eswatini}} → Swaziland

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}}	Swaziland	Swaziland
{{flagicon|SWZ}}
{{fb|SWZ}}	[[Swaziland {{{altlink}}}|Swaziland]]	[[Swaziland {{{altlink}}}|Swaziland]]
