Template:Country data Hong Kong

Template documentation[ purge ]

Template:Country data Hong Kong is an internal data container not intended to be transcluded directly. It is used indirectly by templates such as {{flag}}, {{flagcountry}}, and others.

This template is within the scope of WikiProject Flag Template, a collaborative effort to maintain flag templates on Wikipedia. A more thorough discussion of the flag template system, including parameters not described here, can be found on the project page.

Standard parameters

Parameter name	Value	Meaning
`alias`	`Hong Kong`	Main article name (Hong Kong)
`flag alias`	`Flag of Hong Kong.svg`	Image name (File:Flag of Hong Kong.svg, shown on right)

Flag variants

These variants cannot be used unless the line | variant = {{{variant|}}} is added to this template.

Label	Flag image (40px)	Image name
`1959`		`Flag of Hong Kong 1959.svg`
`1955`		`Flag of Hong Kong 1955.svg`
`1876`		`Flag of Hong Kong 1876.svg`
`1871`		`Flag of Hong Kong 1871.svg`
`red`		`Flag of Hong Kong 1959 (unofficial Red Ensign).svg`

Military ensigns

This nation's naval ensign is the same as its national flag, so {{naval ensign}} produces the following:

{{naval ensign|Hong Kong}} → Hong Kong Marine Police

Redirect aliases

This template can also be used via an alias name (implemented as a redirect to this template):

Alias name	{{flag\|`alias`}} output	{{flagcountry\|`alias`}} output
`HKG` (view)	Template:Country data HKG	Template:Country data HKG
`Hong Kong, China` (view)	Template:Country data Hong Kong, China	Template:Country data Hong Kong, China

See What links here for a full list of redirects.

TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.

Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. ‎<nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw ‎<templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.

Discussion
There is an ongoing discussion about that matter. Feel invited to comment if you are experienced in either way, your time permits and if you like to share your opinion or to make a suggestion.
