<code>Template:{{PAGENAME}}</code> is an internal data container not intended to be transcluded directly. It is used indirectly by templates such as <code>[[Template:flag|flag]]</code>, <code>[[Template:Flag icon|flag icon]]</code>, and others.

This template is transcluded if a flag template is used without the first parameter, or with an empty first parameter. It can be used to place an "invisible" flag icon, as an alternative to using {{tl|noflag}} (which adds a {{tag|span|open}} tag with padding at the size of a flag icon), if one item in a list of items with flags shouldn't have a flag icon. For example:
* {{flag icon|}} [[Western Sahara]] (<code><nowiki>{{flag icon|}} [[Western Sahara]]</nowiki></code>)
which looks the same as
* {{noflag|[[Western Sahara]]}} (<code><nowiki>{{noflag|[[Western Sahara]]}}</nowiki></code>)

== Comparison: with and without flag ==
* {{flag icon|}} [[Western Sahara]] (<code><nowiki>{{flag icon|}} [[Western Sahara]]</nowiki></code>) – internally transcludes {{tl|Flag data}}
* {{flag icon|Western Sahara}} [[Western Sahara]] (<code><nowiki>{{flag icon|Western Sahara}} [[Western Sahara]]</nowiki></code>) – internally transcludes {{tl|Country data Western Sahara}}
