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=
|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.
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If this flag is obsolete in Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge, then add this to include the Obsolete banner.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Add this one instead of 'ra2obsolete' if the flag is obsolete in Tiberian Sun as well as Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge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.
