Template:Country data Ireland/doc

Script error: No such module "Message box". This template is intended to be used for all-Ireland instances, usually resulting in a wikilink to Ireland (article about the island) instead of Republic of Ireland (article about the sovereign nation).

However, it is often convenient to use Template:Tnull and Template:Tnull instead of Template:Tnull and Template:Tnull respectively, so this template differs from the standard format in order to accommodate that usage. The <templatestyles src="Mono/styles.css" />alias parameter changes depending on whether or not a flag variant is used by the parent template call:

alias = {{#if:{{{variant|}}}|Ireland|Republic of Ireland}}

This results in

Template:Tnull → File:Saint Patrick's Saltire.svg Ireland (use for Ireland as part of United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland)
Template:Tnull → File:Flag of Ireland.svg Ireland (use for current state)

Sporting teams

Also, several sport-specific flag variants are maintained here, and these are automatically used by the respective sport team templates:

Template:Tnull → {{ Template:Yesno

}} (football, 1882–1922)

Template:Tnull → Template:Fh (field hockey)
Template:Tnull → File:Four Provinces Flag.svg Ireland (rugby league)
Template:Tnull → File:Flag of Ireland.svg Ireland (ice hockey) — all-Ireland team that uses the tri-colour
Template:Tnull → Template:Idh (indoor hockey)
Template:Tnull → File:IRFU flag.svg Ireland (rugby union)
Template:Tnull → File:Cricket Ireland flag.svg Ireland (cricket)
Template:Tnull → Template:Quid (quidditch)

Use of country code aliases

The standard country code for the Republic of Ireland is IRL, so it can be used as an alias for Template:Country data Republic of Ireland. The non-standard country codes IRE and EIR are used as aliases for this template to provide similar convenience. For example:

Template:Tnull → Republic of IrelandScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
Template:Tnull → IrelandScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
Template:Tnull → IrelandScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
Template:Tnull → {{safesubst: Template:Yesno

}} (links to Republic of Ireland national football team)

Template:Tnull or Template:Tnull → {{ Template:Yesno

}} (links to Ireland national football team (1882–1950))

Incorrect usage

Do not use the IRL alias for all-Ireland sports team, and do not use the IRE/EIR aliases without a flag variant specified. The following examples should not be used.

Template:Tnull → Republic of IrelandScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". (Works, but better to use the standard country code for IRL.)
Template:Tnull → ~~Template:Fh~~ (Use Template:Tnull instead)
