Template:IFIS/doc

This template can be used to put vexillological flag identification symbols in flag descriptions. Furthermore, when this template is used, some explanation text will be shown when the mouse pointer is placed over the displayed symbol. A bug in WP:Navigation popups will prevent this.

Usage

To display a symbol, use:

{{IFIS|<symbol>}}

For example, {{IFIS|De facto}} gives De facto version of flag. The parameters are case-sensitive.
