Template:Country data/doc

{{#invoke:Message box|mbox}}

This template is transcluded if a flag template is used without the first parameter, or with an empty first parameter. It can be used to place an "invisible" flag icon, as an alternative to using {{noflag}} (which adds a <span> tag with padding at the size of a flag icon), if one item in a list of items with flags shouldn't have a flag icon. For example:

• Western Sahara ({{flagicon|}} [[Western Sahara]])

which looks the same as

• Western Sahara ({{noflag|[[Western Sahara]]}})
