Template:Coast guard
{{country data {{{1}}} | Coast guard/core | variant = | size = | name =
}}
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.
