Module:Flag

Lua-native alternative to popular flag templates. Can be used to reduce post-expand include size of pages with lots of templates, since it avoids calling multilevel templates.

Usage

• {{flag}} → {{#invoke:flag|main}}
• {{flagcountry}} → {{#invoke:flag|country}}
• {{flagdeco}} → {{#invoke:flag|deco}}
• {{flagicon}} → {{#invoke:flag|icon}}
• {{flag+link}} → {{#invoke:flag|+link}}

Examples
