Wikifying Nationalities Made Easy

8
Vote

I have been putting stuff on the wiki for a lot of International events, and something got be a bit annoyed after a while.

If I wanted a Team United States, I had to type out: "[[Image:MiniUnitedStatesFlag.jpg]] United States" every time.

So naturally, I made a template.

As a result, many templates can be acquired for most countries.

Instead of typing the above, typing {{Team United States}} will do the same thing. It would look like this -> Flag of the United States United States.

This can have other uses too.

On player profile pages, the "Nationality" option if there is one can have a Team followed by a Country Name, and the result is the same.

If there is one that doesn't exist yet, e.g. {{Team Azerbaijan}} , a new link can be created by clicking on it, and typing [[Image:MiniAzerbaijanFlag.jpg]] Azerbaijan . If the flag doesn't exist, you'll have to download it from wikipedia and upload it onto here, but it can be done.

I just thought you might like to know, as I have found many uses for it:-

  • 2003 Rugby Union World Cup
  • Juan Manuel Fangio
  • Brands Hatch
  • Indianapolis Motor Speedway

I put in little flags a while back when I filled out the MLS roster pages (not that I ever got around to getting close to finnishing the rosters; just 5 of 13).

Good! Now with some minor tweaking you can put the nation name in aswell. As for your problem of bountiful wikying, I know the feeling. I have about 750 Formula One Grand Prix Reports to write. (It's taken about two months to write 10). And then I have a lot of stuff after that...

Ah, disciplined, are you? Me, I work on everything at the same time (just about to upload the American Football books to film list). Eventually, everything will be finished. :)

Eventually, this will be finished. Unfortunately, my "eventually" is a few years away...
