This template is intended to be used for all-Ireland instances, usually resulting in a wikilink to Ireland (article about the island) instead of Republic of Ireland (article about the sovereign nation).
However, it is often convenient to use {{flagicon|Ireland}}
and {{flag|Ireland}}
instead of {{flagicon|Republic of Ireland}}
and {{flag|Republic of Ireland}}
respectively, so this template differs from the standard format in order to accommodate that usage. The alias parameter changes depending on whether or not a flag variant is used by the parent template call:
alias = {{#if:{{{variant|}}}|Ireland|Republic of Ireland}}
This results in
{{flag|Ireland|1783}}
→ {{flag|Ireland}}
→ Also, several sport-specific flag variants are maintained here, and these are automatically used by the respective sport team templates:
{{fb|Ireland}}
→ {{fh|Ireland}}
→ {{rl|Ireland}}
→ {{ih|Ireland}}
→ {{idh|Ireland}}
→ {{ru|Ireland}}
→ {{cr|Ireland}}
→ {{quid|Ireland}}
→ The standard country code for the Republic of Ireland is IRL, so it can be used as an alias for Template:Country data Republic of Ireland. The non-standard country codes IRE and EIR are used as aliases for this template to provide similar convenience. For example:
{{flagicon|IRL}}
→
{{flagicon|IRE|1783}}
→
{{flagicon|IRE|4prov}}
→
{{fb|IRL}}
→ {{fb|IRE}}
or {{fb|EIR}}
→ Do not use the IRL alias for all-Ireland sports team, and do not use the IRE/EIR aliases without a flag variant specified. The following examples should not be used.
{{flagicon|IRE}}
→
{{fh|IRL}}
→ {{fh|IRE}}
