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 using modules or module-wrapper templates instead:
- {{flagg}} is a simple wrapper for Module:Flagg: For basic use,
{{Flag athlete|athlete's name|country code or name}}can be replaced with{{flagg|unaep|country code or name|preftext=athlete's name}}. To use IOC country codes, replaceunaepwithunaepi. - {{#invoke:flag|athlete}} is a wrapper for Module:Flagg that can further reduce sizes when invoked directly. For basic use,
{{Flag athlete|athlete's name|country code or name}}can be replaced with{{#invoke:flag|athlete|athlete's name|country code or name}}. To use IOC country codes, add|opts=i.
