This template generates a standardized flag header.

Usage

A separate flag header should be used for each context the flag is used in. Distinct contexts include files and sections where flag usage differs. For example, Type is used in rules(md).ini for SuperWeaponTypes, sound(md).ini for VocTypes, and eva(md).ini for VoxTypes. This ensures that contextual flag usage is documented with accuracy.

This template includes Category:INI Flags automatically.

{{Flag
|name=
|files={{Categ|ini=ini-name}}, ...
|values={{values|value-type}}
|special=
|default=
|extver=
|types={{Categ|section-name}}, ...
|ra2obsolete=
|tsobsolete=
|rponly=
|aresflag=
|hpflag=
|games
}}

Copy-paste the code above and fill out the parameters as follows:

name The exact name of the flag. Defaults to {{PAGENAME}}.
files Which file the flag can be used in. Template:Categ, with {{{ini}}} set to the correct ini-name, should be used for consistency. Defaults to {{Categ|ini=rules}}.
values Possible values the flag accepts. Template:Values should be used for consistency.
special Special values, if any. For example, −11 is a special value for Ammo. This parameter is optional2.
default The default value for the flag. This parameter is optional2.
extver What version of the appropriate EXE extension (Ares or HyperPatch) is required before this flag can be used. This parameter should only be used if rponly, aresflag or hpflag is set to yes.
types The sections the flag pertains to. Template:Categ should be used for consistency.
games Which games the flag is parsed in. To select a game, add a parameter in the form of code=yes. For example, yr=yes indicates that the flag is parsed in Yuri's Revenge.
ra2obsolete If this flag is obsolete in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, then add this to include the Obsolete banner.
tsobsolete Add this one instead of 'ra2obsolete' if the flag is obsolete in Tiberian Sun as well as Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge.
rponly If this is a flag introduced in the RockPatch, add this.
aresflag If this is a flag introduced in Ares, add this.
hpflag If this flag is introduced by HyperPatch, add this.
