{{Warning|This continent-topic template is a shell template that is transcluded on '''multiple''' navigational templates.

==Additional documentation for Template:Europe topic==
===Enabling links for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales===
In some topics, the [[constituent countries of the United Kingdom]] are treated as national entities in their own right. To enable their inclusion in a template, set the parameter {{para|UK_only}} to "no", "n" or "0" (zero). This will put links for England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in brackets after the UK.

'''Code'''
<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|prefix=Football in|state=expanded|UK_only=no}}</nowiki></code>:

'''Result'''
{{Europe topic|prefix=Football in|state=expanded|UK_only=no}}

To enable only some of the constituent countries, their respective parameters <kbd>ENG</kbd>, <kbd>NIR</kbd>, <kbd>SCT</kbd> and <kbd>WLS</kbd> (see below) can be used. Set any of them to "yes", "y" or "1" to use the default link as defined by the prefix and suffix, and to anything else (except "no"/"n"/"0") to link to a specific article. For example:
*<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|Foo in|ENG=yes}}</nowiki></code> to add England and link it to [[Foo in England]], and
*<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|Foo in|ENG=Bar in England}}</nowiki></code> to add England and link it to [[Bar in England]].
If {{para|UK_only}} is defined, these four parameters always link to the specified article, so <nowiki>{{Europe topic|Foo in|UK_only=no|ENG=yes}}</nowiki> creates a link to the disambiguation page [[Yes (disambiguation)|Yes]]. Like with other countries (see below), these parameters can also be used to omit some of the constituent countries by setting them to nothing or whitespace only:
*<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|Foo in|UK_only=no|WLS=}}</nowiki></code> to add England, Scotland and Northern Ireland only (all except Wales);
*<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|Foo in|UK_only=no|SCT=|NIR=}}</nowiki></code> to add England and Wales only (equivalent to <code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|Foo in|ENG=yes|WLS=yes}}</nowiki></code>).

===Enabling link for Israel===
Israel is a member of [[UEFA]], [[LEN]] and several other European sports organizations. With the parameter {{para|IL}} it can be added to the navbox. Set it to "yes", "y" or "1" to use the default link, and to anything else except whitespace for a custom linked article. For example:

'''Code'''
<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|suffix=national football team|title=National football teams of Europe|IL=yes|state=expanded}}</nowiki></code>

'''Result'''
{{Europe topic|suffix=national football team|title=National football teams of Europe|IL=yes|state=expanded}}

===Removing the article "the"===
By default all links include the article "the" for countries like the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. In some cases this is not wanted; for example, the example from the previous section contains links to [[The Czech Republic national football team]] instead of [[Czech Republic national football team]]. To remove the leading article, set the parameter {{para|article}} to anything except "yes":

'''Code'''
<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|suffix=national football team|title=National football teams of Europe|IL=yes|article=no|state=expanded}}</nowiki></code>

'''Result'''
{{Europe topic|suffix=national football team|title=National football teams of Europe|IL=yes|article=no|state=expanded}}

Note that {{tl|Europe topic}}, together with {{tl|Asia topic}}, is the only continent-topic template to have an "article" parameter. In most other templates "the" is automatically included if there is no suffix and cannot be manually added or suppressed.

===Suppressing "(country)" for Georgia===
By default, the link for Georgia includes the disambiguator "(country)". Set the parameter {{para|template}} to anything except "yes" to suppress this:

'''Code'''
<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|suffix=national football team|title=National football teams of Europe|IL=yes|article=no|template=no|state=expanded}}</nowiki></code>

'''Result'''
{{Europe topic|suffix=national football team|title=National football teams of Europe|IL=yes|article=no|template=no|state=expanded}}

===Disabling links for "other entities"===
If some topic is inapplicable to the European Union, the European Economic Area or the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, they can be removed from the list by the addition of the parameter {{para|no_other_entities|yes}}. 
Additionally there is a rough check for existence of the particular EU/EEA/SMOM article and if there isn't such - the entity with a missing article is automatically not shown in the template (see Vatican City explanation below).

'''Code'''
<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|prefix=List of airports in|state=expanded|no_other_entities=yes}}</nowiki></code>

'''Result'''
{{Europe topic|prefix=List of airports in|state=expanded|no_other_entities=yes}}

Additionally, if some template is applicable to only one of these three entities, the redundant entity can be removed by adding the corresponding parameter as shown below:
*<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|prefix=List of airports in|state=expanded|no_EU=yes}}</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|prefix=List of airports in|state=expanded|no_EEA=yes}}</nowiki></code>
*<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|prefix=List of airports in|state=expanded|no_SMOM=yes}}</nowiki></code>

===Vatican City===
As the Vatican is such a small country, with 0.44 km<sup>2</sup> and 826 inhabitants, many articles about it would be meaningless; for example, "Hinduism in the Vatican City". So the condition for the Vatican to appear in any template created using this one is the preexistence of the article about the Vatican. That is why the Vatican City doesn't appear on many templates (such as {{tl|Navies in Europe}}).

===Altering the link used for a specific entity===
To change the link used for a single state, Dependency, territory, or other entity, use the following parameters:

'''Sovereign states'''

'''Other entities'''
* {{para|EU}} European Union
* {{para|EEA}} European Economic Area
* {{para|SMOM}} Sovereign Military Order of Malta
'''UK constituent countries''' (see [[#Enabling links for England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales|above]])
* {{para|ENG}} England
* {{para|NIR}} Northern Ireland
* {{para|SCT}} Scotland
* {{para|WLS}} Wales

If the parameter is specified, but left blank, the entity will be omitted from the list.  For {{para|GB}}, leaving the parameter blank will simply unlink the text if {{para|UK_only|no}} is also specified.

As an example: in some sports there's one team for the island of Ireland, covering both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland, while England, Scotland and Wales compete separately. In such cases the parameters {{para|IE}} and {{para|NIR}} can be used to omit Northern Ireland and have Ireland link to "... of Ireland" rather than "... of the Republic of Ireland":

'''Code'''
<code><nowiki>{{Europe topic|Rugby union in|state=expanded|UK_only=no|NIR=|IE=Rugby union in Ireland}}</nowiki></code>

'''Result'''
{{Europe topic|Rugby union in|state=expanded|UK_only=no|NIR=|IE=Rugby union in Ireland}}
