=== Usage ===
This is a meta-template that is not intended to be transcluded directly from the main article space. It can be used to construct other templates that need to extract the <tt>alias</tt> value from the specified <tt>[[:Category:Country data templates|country_data]]</tt> structure, so that customized wikilinks can be constructed. For example, <tt><nowiki>{{getalias|USA}}</nowiki></tt> → "{{getalias|USA}}".

Use <tt>shortname</tt> as a second parameter to retrieve the <tt>shortname alias</tt> value if desired. For example, <tt><nowiki>{{getalias|CHN}}</nowiki></tt> → "{{getalias|CHN}}", but <tt><nowiki>{{getalias|CHN|shortname}}</nowiki></tt> → "{{getalias|CHN|shortname}}".

A third parameter can specify the variant, for example <nowiki>[[Image:{{getalias|USA|flag|1912}}|22px]]</nowiki> -> [[Image:{{getalias|USA|flag|1912}}|22px]] }}
