|
None | |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"
|
| {{Infobox rugby team}} | |image= |image_size=
|
None | Documentation shows |countryflag=<!-- Three letter country code for the team -->, but there is no support in the code for that parameter and if set, it is silently ignored.
|

None | |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"
|
| {{Infobox national hockey team}} | |Badge= |Badge_size=
|
None | |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"
|
| {{Infobox cricket team}} | |image= |logo= |image_size=

|
| {{Infobox national handball team}} | |Badge= |Badge_size=
|
None | |Badge= is for "Shirt badge/Association crest"

|
| {{Infobox national motorcycle speedway team}} | |image= |image size=
|

| {{Infobox squash team}} | |Image= |Image_size=
|
None | |

| {{Infobox floorball club}} | |image= |imagesize=
|
None | |imagesize= is not shown in the documentation, but is supported in the template code.
|
| {{Infobox national wheelchair rugby team}} | |logo= |logo_width=
|
Mixed | While there is some language in the documentation about use of the flag, the template code does not explicitly support that language. For example:
|
| {{Infobox national basketball team}} | |logo= |logo_size=
|
Mixed | Documentation for |logo= says "Optional: An image for the team or the national federation (optional; default is country flag))". According to the template code, the "default" to use the country flag is only available if |logo= is not used and the undocumented |country1= parameter is set to the country's 3-letter code. The infobox then uses {{flagicon|<<country's 3-letter code>>|size=121px}}.
|
| {{Infobox national baseball team}} | |Image= or |Logo= |logo_size=
|
None |
Notes
- ^ Non-free images cannot be displayed except in mainspace, so those images that are non-free are merely referenced rather than displayed.
- ^ Focusing on use of flags at the top of an infobox. This ignores promotion or use of flag icons in various other parameters throughout the infobox.
- ^ "None" equates to the documentation being silent on the use of a flag as a primary infobox image. It does not state whether it allows or restricts the use of a flag as a primary infobox image. However, the name of the parameter does indicate the intent for the image to use (i.e.,
|badge=and|logo=versus a generic|image=parameter).
