Template:Europe topic/doc

Enabling links for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales
In some topics, the constituent countries of the United Kingdom are treated as national entities in their own right. To enable their inclusion in a template, set the parameter UK_only to "no", "n" or "0" (zero). This will put links for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in brackets after the UK. :
 * Code
 * Result

To enable only some of the constituent countries, their respective parameters ENG, NIR , SCT and WLS (see below) can be used. Set any of them to "yes", "y" or "1" to use the default link as defined by the prefix and suffix, and to anything else (except "no"/"n"/"0") to link to a specific article. For example: If UK_only is defined, these four parameters always link to the specified article, so creates a link to the disambiguation page Yes. Like with other countries (see below), these parameters can also be used to omit some of the constituent countries by setting them to nothing or whitespace only:
 * to add England and link it to Foo in England, and
 * to add England and link it to Bar in England.
 * to add England, Scotland and Northern Ireland only (all except Wales);
 * to add England and Wales only (equivalent to ).

Enabling link for Israel
Israel is a member of UEFA, LEN and several other European sports organizations. With the parameter IL it can be added to the navbox. Set it to "yes", "y" or "1" to use the default link, and to anything else except whitespace for a custom linked article. For example:

Removing the article "the"
By default all links include the article "the" for countries like the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In some cases this is not wanted; for example, the example from the previous section contains links to The Czech Republic national football team instead of Czech Republic national football team. To remove the leading article, set the parameter article to anything except "yes":


 * Code
 * Result

Note that Europe topic, together with Asia topic, is the only continent-topic template to have an "article" parameter. In most other templates "the" is automatically included if there is no suffix and cannot be manually added or suppressed.

Suppressing "(country)" for Georgia
By default, the link for Georgia includes the disambiguator "(country)". Set the parameter template to anything except "yes" to suppress this:

Disabling links for "other entities"
If some topic is inapplicable to the European Union, the European Economic Area or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, they can be removed from the list by the addition of the parameter yes. Additionally there is a rough check for existence of the particular EU/EEA/SMOM article and if there isn't such - the entity with a missing article is automatically not shown in the template (see Vatican City explanation below). :
 * Code
 * Result

Additionally, if some template is applicable to only one of these three entities, the redundant entity can be removed by adding the corresponding parameter as shown below:

Vatican City
As the Vatican is such a small country, with 0.44 km2 and 826 inhabitants, many articles about it would be meaningless; for example, "Hinduism in the Vatican City". So the condition for the Vatican to appear in any template created using this one is the preexistence of the article about the Vatican. That is why the Vatican City doesn't appear on many templates (such as Navies in Europe).

Altering the link used for a specific entity
To change the link used for a single state, Dependency, territory, or other entity, use the following parameters:

Sovereign states • AL Albania

• AD Andorra

• AM Armenia

• AT Austria

• AZ Azerbaijan

• BY Belarus

• BE Belgium

• BA Bosnia and Herzegovina

• BG Bulgaria

• HR Croatia

• CY Cyprus

• CZ Czech Republic

• DK Denmark

• EE Estonia

• FI Finland

• FR France

• GE Georgia

• DE Germany

• GR Greece

• HU Hungary

• IS Iceland

• IE Ireland

• IL Israel (see above)

• IT Italy

• KZ Kazakhstan

• LV Latvia

• LI Liechtenstein

• LT Lithuania

• LU Luxembourg

• MK Macedonia

• MT Malta

• MD Moldova

• MC Monaco

• ME Montenegro

• NL Netherlands

• NO Norway

• PL Poland

• PT Portugal

• RO Romania

• RU Russia

• SM San Marino

• RS Serbia

• SK Slovakia

• SI Slovenia

• ES Spain

• SE Sweden

• CH Switzerland

• TR Turkey

• UA Ukraine

• GB United Kingdom

• VA Vatican City States with limited recognition • AB Abkhazia

• NKR Republic of Artsakh

• PMR Transnistria

• SO South Ossetia

• TRNC Northern Cyprus

• XK Kosovo Dependencies and other territories • AX Åland

• FO Faroe Islands

• GI Gibraltar

• GG Guernsey

• JE Jersey

• IM Isle of Man

• SJ Svalbard Other entities UK constituent countries (see above)
 * EU European Union
 * EEA European Economic Area
 * SMOM Sovereign Military Order of Malta
 * ENG England
 * NIR Northern Ireland
 * SCT Scotland
 * WLS Wales

If the parameter is specified, but left blank, the entity will be omitted from the list. For GB, leaving the parameter blank will simply unlink the text if no is also specified.

As an example: in some sports there's one team for the island of Ireland, covering both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, while England, Scotland and Wales compete separately. In such cases the parameters IE and NIR can be used to omit Northern Ireland and have Ireland link to "... of Ireland" rather than "... of the Republic of Ireland":
