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

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 → 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-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".
