New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

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 {{tlp|Coast guard/core}} template, which should not be accessed directly. It is built on the {{tlp|flag}} template.

== Usage ==

'''<nowiki>{{Coast guard|</nowiki>'''''country identifier'''''|'''''optional variant'''''|'''name=''alternative text string'''''|'''size=''maximum width and/or height of the flag image'''''<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 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 [[Wikipedia:Extended image syntax|image syntax]].

==Examples==
{| class="wikitable"
! Wiki markup !! Displays !! Notes
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|United States}}</nowiki></code> || {{nowrap| {{Coast guard|United States}}}} || rowspan=2 | Note that both instances link to [[United States Coast Guard]].
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|USA}}</nowiki></code> || {{Coast guard|USA}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|Germany}}</nowiki></code> || {{Coast guard|Germany}} || rowspan=3 | All three instances link to [[German Federal Coast Guard]].<br />In addition to the ISO country codes, those used by [[FIFA]], [[IOC]], etc. are also supported.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|DEU}}</nowiki></code> || {{Coast guard|DEU}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|GER}}</nowiki></code> || {{Coast guard|GER}}
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|CAN|name=Canadian}}</nowiki></code> || {{Coast guard|CAN|name=Canadian}} || The name parameter can be used to change the display string but keep the link to the correct article.
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|USA|size=14px}}</nowiki></code> || {{Coast guard|USA|size=14px}} || rowspan=2 | The size parameter can be used to control the image dimensions.<br />23×15px is the default size for most countries ([[:Category:Country data templates with distinct default size|some entities]] have a different default size).
|-
| <code><nowiki>{{Coast guard|USA|size=28px}}</nowiki></code> || {{Coast guard|USA|size=28px}}
|}
