Template:Country data Siam

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Rather than redirecting {{Country data Siam}} to {{Country data Thailand}}, the former template transcludes the latter and passes through all parameters. The linked article will always be "Thailand", but the displayed name is either "Siam" or "Thailand" based on which of the two templates is used, even in templates that usually have a fixed default display name (such as {{flag country}} and {{fb}}). This allows for "Siam" to be used in historical contexts without having to also set |name=. The variants from {{Country data Thailand}} can be used with both templates.

Examples

Template	Thailand output	Siam output
{{flag|THA}}	Thailand	Siam
{{flag|THA}}	Thailand	Siam
{{flag country|THA}}	Thailand	Siam
{{flag icon|THA}}
{{bb|THA}}	Thailand	Siam
{{fb|THA}}	Thailand	Siam
