Module:ISO 3166/doc
This is the documentation page for Module:ISO 3166
This module is subject to page protection. It is a highly visible module in use by a very large number of pages, or is substituted very frequently. Because vandalism or mistakes would affect many pages, and even trivial editing might cause substantial load on the servers, it is protected from editing. |
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 varity of inputs (alpha-2, alpha-3, numeric, name, ISO-name, alternative names). The module also removes junk from the input.
Examples
mag-editCountries (ISO 3166-1)
mag-editAll 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 |codetype=
to output alpha-3 or numeric codes in code
instead of the default alpha-2 codes.
Name
mag-editTo get the common name use the name function
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
ISO Name
mag-editTo 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
mag-editTo get the alpha 2 code use the code function
- Template:Tnull → GB
- Template:Tnull → GB
- Template:Tnull → GB
Alpha-3
mag-editTo get the alpha 3 code use the code function with codetype = 3
- Template:Tnull → GBR
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
- Template:Tnull → United Kingdom
- Template:Tnull → GBR
Numeric
mag-editTo get the numeric code use the code function with codetype = numeric or use the numeric function
- Template:Tnull → 826
- Template:Tnull → 826
Subdivisions (ISO 3166-2)
mag-editInputs 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)
mag-editTo get the alpha-2 code of a subdivision use the code function with parameter 1 being the country and parameter 2 being the subdivision

Name
mag-editTo 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

|isoname=
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 |lang=
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.
