Military ensigns

This template includes a naval ensign flag variant that can be used with Template:Navy:

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
Myanmar (view)	Myanmar	Myanmar
MMR (view)	Template:Country data MMR	Template:Country data MMR
MYA (view)	Template:Country data MYA	Template:Country data MYA

See What links here for a full list of redirects.

Example usage

• {{flag|Burma}} → Burma
• {{flagicon|Burma}} →

Using a flag variant

• {{flag|Burma|1937}} → Burma
• {{flagicon|Burma|1937}} →

Using a redirect alias

• {{flagicon|Myanmar}} →
• {{flagcountry|Myanmar}} → Myanmar
• {{flag|Myanmar}} → Myanmar

Other information

Rather than redirecting {{Country data Burma}} to {{Country data Myanmar}}, the former template transcludes the latter and passes through all parameters. The linked article will always be "Myanmar", but the displayed name is either "Burma" or "Myanmar" 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 "Burma" to be used in historical contexts without having to also set |name=. The variants from {{Country data Myanmar}} can be used with both templates.

Examples

Template	Myanmar output	Burma output
{{flag|MYA}}	Myanmar	Burma
{{flag|MYA|1974}}	Myanmar	Burma
{{flagcountry|MYA}}	Myanmar	Burma
{{flagicon|MYA}}
{{bb|MYA}}	Myanmar	Burma
{{fb|MYA}}	Myanmar	Burma
