Syntax
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">
</syntaxhighlight>
While it is probably important to always list at least the immediate 'parent' of any writing system, it isn't always practical if this number is too large.
`type` parameter
Select color coding with |type= according to the type of writing system:
| Abjad | Alphabet | Abugida | Syllabary | Semisyllabary |
| Manual | Pictographic | Ideographic | Logographic | |
| Stenography | Shorthand | Undeciphered | Alternative | (default) |
Shorthand `SHform`, `SHtype`
SHform, SHtype parameter options
| |||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Parameter `direction`
|direction= can be used to enter the directionality. When left unused, the template reads this value from Wikidata.
Parameter `note`
As a bottom there can be shown this note:
This page contains phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters.
Setting |note=none will hide this text.
