==ISO 3166==
ISO 3166 defines names, two and three letter codes and code numbers for all countries and six character codes (the two letter country code followed by a dash and a two or three character subdivision code) for all top level subdivisions.

==Using the family of templates==
When we wish to convert between various identifiers that may loosely be defined as ''user input'' and ISO 3166 entities, there may be more than one way to do each conversion. For our examples we use [[Pakistan]] as the country and [[Balochistan (Pakistan)]] as the subdivision.

The ISO-3166 identifiers for Pakistan are:
*Name: Pakistan
*Alpha-2 code: PK
*Alpha-3 code: PAK
*Numeric code: 586

The ISO-3166 identifiers for Balochistan (Pakistan) is:
*Subdivision code:PK-BK

Now Pakistan also has a number of synonyms: for example [[Pakistán]] and [[پاکستان]].

Similarly Baluchistan is known, for example, as [[Balochistan]] (on Wikipedia) and [[Bagh Sanjari]].

; To get the '''Alpha-2''' code we can use {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code}} with any of the country identifiers.

* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|Pakistan}} PK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|PK}} PK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|PAK}} PK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|586}} PK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|Pakistán}} PK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|پاکستان}} PK

; To get the '''Alpha-3''' code.

* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code-3|Pakistan}} PAK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code-3|PK}} PAK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code-3|PAK}} PAK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code-3|586}} PAK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code-3|Pakistán}} PAK
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code-3|پاکستان}} PAK

;Finding the name of a country.

* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 name|Pakistan}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 name|PK}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 name|PAK}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 name|586}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 name|Pakistán}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 name|پاکستان}} Pakistan

;Finding the common name of a country.

* {{Tlx|Country name|Pakistan}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|Country name|PK}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|Country name|PAK}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|Country name|586}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|Country name|Pakistán}} Pakistan
* {{Tlx|Country name|پاکستان}} Pakistan

;Finding the numeric code of a country.

* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 numeric|Pakistan}} 586
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 numeric|PK}} 586
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 numeric|PAK}} 586
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 numeric|586}} 586
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 numeric|Pakistán}} 586

;The subdivision code can be obtained in the following ways.

* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|Pakistan|Baluchistan}} PK-BA
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|Pakistan|Balochistan}} PK-BA
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|Pakistan|Bagh Sanjari}} PK-BA
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|Pakistán|Baluchistan}} PK-BA
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|Paquistán|Balochistan}} PK-BA
* {{Tlx|ISO 3166 code|PK|Baluchistan}} PK-BA
