This template is used to display a small flag icon next to a wikilinked country name.  It is related to the {{tl|flagicon}} and {{tl|flagcountry}} templates, but offers more options in terms of the text string displayed.

See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template]] for the main documentation/discussion page for the flag templates system.

==Usage==
'''<nowiki>{{flag|</nowiki>'''''country identifier'''''&#124;'''''optional variant'''''&#124;'''name=''alternate text string'''''<nowiki>}}</nowiki>'''

*''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 flag variation, such as a historical flag.  The list of variants for each country is documented on the appropriate template page, such as [[:Template:Country data Germany]]
*'''alternate text string'', specified by the '''name''' parameter, is used to display alternate text
