:: Hi Chuck, thanks for the examples, now it's clear! Is there a way to extend the banner text and still keep the flag?

Sort key

Please could any of the admins edit this template to allow for a third optional sort key parameter? I believe we'd have to add the code in red (not sure):

[[Category:{{{1}}} texts|{{{3|{{PAGENAME}}}}}]]

Also, what is the second parameter good for? A documentation with examples would help :). Thanks! -- CarlosTalk 13:43, 30 April 2008 (PDT)

Done. I've been too busy to add documentation, but
{{text|XYZ|ABC|9=MNO}}
would result in the banner ABCXYZ text, sorted with sort key MNO. Notice that the (non-existent) File:XYZ.png does not get linked.
A more typical usage might be
{{text|Quenya|}}
resulting in Quenya text (no flag).

Hi Chuck, thanks for the examples, now it's clear! Is there a way to extend the banner text and still keep the flag? A use for it that comes to my mind is in John Dowland's works, for instance, where we would be able to display "English.png Early Modern English" ( {{Text|English| Early Modern}} ). But perhaps it's too much detail.
