- {{flagicon|ITA}} =
Optional parameters:

[edit] Implementation
This template uses the data templates listed under category:country data templates, which contain the data what to display (Example: template:country data Italy) and the formatter template:country flagicon2, which contains the logic how to display the country data.
- {{flagicon|Italy}} = — uses template:country data Italy
- {{flagicon|ITA}} = — uses template:country data ITA, which is a redirect to template:country data Italy

- Template:flagcountry is also used to display a wikilinked name next to the flag. The displayed name will always be the same, regardless of whether or not a country code alias is used as the template parameter.
