== Usage ==

{{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}|Template=
This template is part of a series that resolves the country and subdivision names to [[قائمة الدول حسب المعيار الدولي أيزو 3166-1]] and [[أيزو 3166-2]] codes, and vice versa.

In particular, {{Tlx|{{اسم الصفحة}}}} returns <includeonly>{{ {{PAGENAME}} }}</includeonly>.
|Category=This category contains part of the series of templates resolves the country and subdivision names to [[قائمة الدول حسب المعيار الدولي أيزو 3166-1]] and [[أيزو 3166-2]] codes, and vice versa.

== ISO 3166 ==
ISO 3166 defines names, two and three letter codes and code numbers for all countries and six character codes (the two letter country code followed by a dash and a two or three character subdivision code) for all top level subdivisions. 

== Using the family of templates ==
We wish to convert between various identifiers that may loosely be defined as ''user input'' and ISO 3166 entities, there may be more than one way to do each conversion. For our examples we use [[باكستان]] as the country and [[بلوشستان (باكستان)]] as the subdivision.

The ISO-3166 identifiers for Pakistan are:
*Name: Pakistan
*Alpha-2 code:PK
*Alpha-3 code:PAK
*Numeric code:586

The ISO-3166 identifiers for Balochistan (Pakistan) is:
*Subdivision code:PK-BK

Now Pakistan also has a number of synonyms: for example [[باكستان]] and [[باكستان]]. 

Similarly Baluchistan is known, for example as [[بلوشستان]] (on Wikipedia) and [[بلوشستان (باكستان)]] .

; To get the '''Alpha-2''' code we can use {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code}} with any of the country identifiers ,or use the identifier as a part of the template name (faster).

== Cases where the non-ISO3166 name might be returned ==
* Taiwan - ISO name is...
* Venezuela - ISO name is...
* Bolivia - ISO name is....
* ...

* Cases where the name is comma mangled - "Congo, The People's Democratic Republic of"
* Macedonia - ISO name is Macedonia, the former Yugoslav Republic of

== Enhancing the system ==
# Adding country synonyms: these should redirect to the canonical template: the redirect should be categorised the same as the target, and sort-keyed as per the notes in the categories.
# Adding region synonyms: these can be a simple cut-and paste, but be sure to update any documentation variables.
