This template is used on approximately 412,000 pages, or roughly 33092% of all pages.
To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template is within the scope of WikiProject Flag Template, a collaborative effort to maintain flag templates on Wikipedia. A more thorough discussion of the flag template system, including parameters not described here, can be found on the project page.

Standard parameters

Parameter name	Value	Meaning
`alias`	`Wikipedia:United States`	Main article name (Wikipedia:United States)

`flag alias`	`Flag of the United States.png`	Image name (File:Flag of the United States.png, shown on right)

Redirect aliases

This template can also be used via an alias name (implemented as a redirect to this template):
