This template is identical to Template:Flag, except that the flag links to its image description page, for pages where the flag is for information rather than just decoration, or for non-public domain images for which attribution is required.

The c in the name refers to "clickable".

Compare:

  • {{flag|USA}} gives  USA [२] - image is not clickable
  • {{flagicon|USA}} gives संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका [३] - image links to the country concerned
