Related templates

The {{flag icon}} template can be used to display the naval flag by itself, using the <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">naval</syntaxhighlight> variant as a template parameter:

{{flag icon|CHN|naval}} → China
{{flag icon|Japan|naval}} → Error creating thumbnail:
{{flag icon|Nazi Germany|naval}} → Nazi Germany

Implementation notes

By default, this template shows the standard national flag for the selected country, following by a wikilink to "Country Navy". Both of these items can be changed by adding specific parameters to the appropriate <syntaxhighlight lang="text" class="" style="" inline="1">country_data</syntaxhighlight> template (complete set found in Category:Country data templates).

To use a different flag, such as the naval ensign for the nation, use:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|flag alias-naval=image name of naval ensign

To use a different name for the wikilinked navy article, use:

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|link alias-naval=article name
