Template:Country data Burma

Template documentation

Template:Country data Burma 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	Burma	Main article name (Burma)
shortname alias	Burma	(optional) Display name to be used for the wikilink, if alias is a disambiguated article name, for example
flag alias	Flag of Myanmar.svg	Image name (File:Flag of Myanmar.svg, shown on right)

Example usage

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

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 {{{altlink}}}|Burma]]
{{fb|MYA}}	Myanmar	[[Burma {{{altlink}}}|Burma]]
