Template documentation[ view] [ ] [ history] [ purge]

This template is used to display a small flag variant icon next to a wikilinked name of a country's coastguard. It is a usable wrapper of the {{ Coast guard/core}} template, which should not be accessed directly. It is built on the {{ flag}} template.

Usage

{{Coast guard|country identifier|optional variant|name=alternative text string|size=maximum width and/or height of the flag image}}

country identifier is the common name of the country (e.g. "United States"), a common alias (e.g. "US"), or a standard country code such as those listed at ISO 3166-1 alpha-3
variant is an optional second parameter that can be used to display a coastguard flag variation. The list of variants for each country is documented on the appropriate template page, such as Template:Country data Germany. You can only use subvariants of the coast guard variant.
alternative text string, this optional value, specified by the name parameter, is used to display alternative text instead of the official coast guard name for the wikilinked page.
size, this optional value is specified by the size parameter, and is used to specify the maximum width and/or height of the flag image. This parameter is specified using standard image syntax.
