Template:Module rating Template:High risk
This module returns a country's or subdivision's code (alpha-2, alpha-3, numeric) or name (ISO, non-ISO) from ISO 3166 from a variety of inputs (alpha-2, alpha-3, numeric, name, ISO-name, alternative names). The module also removes junk from the input.
Examples
Countries (ISO 3166-1)
All three types of ISO 3166-1 codes (alpha-2, alpha-3 and numeric) work as inputs to name
, as well as to code
(which can therefore also be used to convert between different code types). Use Template:Para to output alpha-3 or numeric codes in code
instead of the default alpha-2 codes.
Name
To get the common name use the name function
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
ISO Name
To get the common name use the name function with isoname = yes
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
Alpha-2
To get the alpha 2 code use the code function
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
Alpha-3
To get the alpha 3 code use the code function with codetype = 3
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
Numeric
To get the numeric code use the code function with codetype = numeric or use the numeric function
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
Subdivisions (ISO 3166-2)
Inputs to name
must be valid ISO 3166-2 codes, i.e. the country's alpha-2 code for the first part, and up to three alphanumeric characters for the second part. They may be given normally (with a hyphen between the parts), or split between two unnamed parameters. For code
, the first parameter is the country name (or any of its three codes, like above), and the second the subdivision name.
Code (alpha-2)
To get the alpha-2 code of a subdivision use the code function with parameter 1 being the country and parameter 2 being the subdivision
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
Name
To get the name of a subdivision use the name function with parameter 1 being the country and parameter 2 being the subdivsion or parameter 1 being the subdivsion code
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
Template:Para works for subnational entities as well; keep in mind that ISO 3166-2 uses (transliterations of) local names that may differ from English ones. Set Template:Para to a language code to switch between different languages for entities that have multiple ISO names. The default language for multilingual entities can be set on the country's data page.
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
- Template:Tnull → Lua error: Internal error: The interpreter has terminated with signal "24".
