Wikidata country of origin

 * BMP-2
 * BMP-2

Make a template like Template:Annotated link, for country of origin?
 * Done lwc Link with country



To do

 * Provide error messages, warnings
 * Should be blank result for bare template, not "|"
 * Make the lwc template use shorter names? Embedding the "Country name" template seems ok for one country, but multiple?
 * Breaks on multiple, and non-standard names like "Nazi Germany".




 * Write module to cope with multiple country results, pipe all to module and call module behind country name for each?
 * Null result for non standard names - keep original


 * Problem, need to strip spaces
