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, replace unaep with unaepi.
• {{#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.
