This is the documentation page for Module:ISO 3166

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 varity 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)

mag-edit

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 |codetype= to output alpha-3 or numeric codes in code instead of the default alpha-2 codes.

To get the common name use the name function

ISO Name

mag-edit

To get the common name use the name function with isoname = yes

Alpha-2

To get the alpha 2 code use the code function

Alpha-3

mag-edit

To get the alpha 3 code use the code function with codetype = 3

Numeric

mag-edit

To get the numeric code use the code function with codetype = numeric or use the numeric function

Subdivisions (ISO 3166-2)

mag-edit

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)

mag-edit

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

|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.
