Module:Country alias
 | This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
 | This Lua module is used on a very large number of pages. To avoid large-scale disruption and unnecessary server load, any changes to this module should first be tested in its /sandbox or /testcases subpages. The tested changes can then be added to this page in one single edit. Please consider discussing any changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This module implements {{country alias}} and the {{flagIOC2}} family of templates. Check there for usage documentation.

{{#invoke:Country alias|flagIOC|alias=|flag=|games=|year=|athletes=}}
Template:FlagIOC2 and variants
