Template:Getalias2/doc

This is a more general version of {{Getalias}}, which can extract any parameter value from a country data template instead of just parameters named "... alias" or "... alias-...".

Examples

• {{getalias2|Mir|flag alias}} → MirFlag.png (the value of |flag alias= in {{Country data Mir}})
• {{getalias2|Georgia (U.S. state)|shortname alias}} → Template:Country data Georgia (U.S. state) (the value of |shortname alias= in {{Country data Georgia (U.S. state)}})
• {{getalias2|Nepal|border}} → Template:Country data Nepal (nothing, since |border= is set to nothing in {{Country data Nepal}})
• {{getalias2|Russia|border}} → Template:Country data Russia (no |border= parameter is defined in {{Country data Russia}})
• {{getalias2|Nepal|size}} → Template:Country data Nepal (in {{Country data Nepal}}, the {{{size}}} parameter is passed through with fallback value 23x20px)
• {{getalias2|Russia|size}} → Template:Country data Russia (in {{Country data Russia}}, the {{{size}}} parameter is passed through with empty fallback value)

Usage with variant

The |variant= parameter can be used to extract a variant parameter value, and returns the main parameter value if the variant parameter is undefined:

• {{getalias2|Columbia|flag alias|variant=firstempire}} → Columbia Flag.GIF (the value of |flag alias-first empire=)
• {{getalias2|United Kingdom|flag alias|variant=foo}} → Flag of the United Kingdom.svg (non-existent variant; returns the value of |flag alias= as fallback)
