Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template/January 2007 rework
A replacement for the current flag system. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template for the current system.
The new system uses the same call syntax and semantics for the front-end templates (the templates editors use on articles or in higher order templates).
Change To {{country|...}} {{country2|...}}no change{{flagcountry|...}} {{flagcountry2|...}}no change{{flagicon|...}} {{flagicon2|...}}no change{{flag|...}} {{flag2|...}}no change
Implementation-wise, the new system uses a single data template for each country, instead of a template for each parameter of a country, so for example Template:Country data France(edit talk links history) replaces 6 templates (see #Data templates below).
Note that {{country2|flagIOC|..}} is not supported as this has been phased out into Template:FlagIOC(edit talk links history). See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Flag Template#Olympic flag usage (flagIOC etc.)

Update: template:flag now uses the same template code as template:flag2 (--Ligulem 17:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC))
Update: template:country now uses the same template code as template:country2 (--Ligulem 14:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC))
