{{Portal|Heraldry}}

{{Heraldry}} displays the main Heraldry template:

Templates for use in article and article talk namespaces:

• {{WikiProject Heraldry and vexillology}} should be placed at the top of article talk pages to indicate these articles' relevance to this WikiProject.
• {{User WPHV}} may be added to the user page of any participant of this WikiProject.

Dummy images

• 
  Flag of None.svg
• 
  Flag of None (square).svg
• 
  Coats of arms of None.svg

These images can be used in infoboxes and similar if a flag / coat of arms image is missing or has been deleted.

Infoboxes

• {{Infobox coat of arms}}, infobox for "Coat of arms of X" articles and analogous sections
• {{Infobox heraldry}}, infobox for national heraldry articles (e.g. Canadian heraldry); use with {{Heraldry by country}} navbox
• {{Infobox flag}}, infobox for "Flag of X" articles and analogous sections within articles

Nation-specific infoboxes

• {{Infobox PolishCoA}}

Navboxes

• {{Heraldry by country}}, navbox for navigating country-specific heraldry articles (e.g. Swedish heraldry)
• {{Lists of flags}}, navbox for pages that are lists of flags (e.g. List of flags of Iceland)

Nation-specific navboxes

• {{Australian coat of arms}}
• {{British coat of arms}}
• {{German coats of arms}}
• {{German Empire coats of arms}}

Specialised templates

Heraldry

• {{Coat of arms}}, for the standardised use of coats of arms in lists
• {{Historical coat of arms}}, for displaying coats of arms in an article
• {{SharedArms}} notes coats of arms used by more than one entity
• {{Portal|Heraldry}}, used on the Heraldry portal

Vexillology

• {{Flag}} displays a flag icon with linked country name
  • {{Flagcountry}} expands the linked text to the full country name
  • {{Flagicon}} displays flag icon only
• {{FOTW}}, for external links to Flags of the World website entries

Stub templates

• {{Flag-stub}}
• {{Heraldry-stub}}
  • {{Canada-heraldry-stub}}
  • {{Poland-heraldry-stub}}

When using these tags, if they are not already nation-specific please also add the relevant nationality tag, e.g. an article about an Italian coat of arms should be stubbed with both {{Italy-stub}} and {{Heraldry-stub}}. Doing so saves a lot of work for WP:WSS.

If you wish to see additional stub templates created it might be an idea to first consider if you know of 60 existing articles that could benefit from such a template since this is the standard requirement for new stub templates. If you do, please list your suggestion on WP:WSS/P. This process is used to achieve a consistent naming system for stub templates which makes them easier to use. Thanks in advance.
