Module:Country alias (sandbox)

This template is used to simplify creation of Olympic results articles. It expands upon the infrastructure developed for the {{Flag IOC}} template to render the following additions to an athlete's name:

flag icon for the athlete's nation before the name
country code for the athlete's nation after the name
wikilink from the country code to the appropriate "Nation at the year Olympics" article

Usage

{{Flag IOC athlete|athlete|code|games}}

Examples

{{flag IOC athlete | [[Mark Spitz]] | USA | 1972 Summer }}

Mark Spitz (USA)

{{flag IOC athlete | [[Jamie Salé]] and [[David Pelletier]] | CAN | 2002 Winter }}

Jamie Salé and David Pelletier (CAN)

{{flag IOC athlete | [[Nedo Nadi]] | ITA | 1920 Summer }} (shows historical Italian flag in use in 1920)

Nedo Nadi (ITA)

For comparison, the output of {{flag IOC medalist | [[Nedo Nadi]] | ITA | 1920 Summer }} is:

Nedo Nadi

Italy

{{flag IOC athlete|[[Selemon Barega]]|ETH}}

{{flag IOC athlete|[[Sifan Hassan]]|NED}}

Supporting templates

The country name is supplied by {{country alias|AAA}} where AAA is an IOC country code.
The flag image name is also supplied by {{country alias}}
- For the complete country code list with related names and flags, see Module:Country alias

Alternatives to avoid Wikipedia's Post-expand include size limit

Pages with many flag icons may come close to or exceed Wikipedia's Post-expand include size limit. In these cases consider {{#invoke:flag|IOC athlete}} instead. For basic use, {{flag IOC athlete|[[athlete name]]|country|games}} can be replaced with {{#invoke:flag|IOC athlete|[[athlete name]]|country|games}}.
