Usage
[edit]Syntax
[edit]{{Nihongo foot|English|Kanji|Rōmaji|extra|extra2|post=,|group=group|ref_name=name}}
<references group="group" />
Outputs:
English,[group 1]
- ^ Kanji, Rōmaji, extra extra2
Parameters
[edit]- <English>. Optional. The word as translated into English. Note that this will sometimes be the actual Japanese word due to it being adopted into English.
- <kanji/kana>. Required when <rōmaji> is empty or omitted. The word as written using Japanese script (kanji, kana).
- <rōmaji>. Required when <kanji/kana> is empty. Transliteration of the Japanese word, using Hepburn Romanization.
- <extra>. Optional. Can be used to add a gloss (particularly if there is no English form). Can also be expressed as a named parameter,
extra= - <extra2>. Optional. Can also be expressed as a named parameter,
extra2=. It is only useful in ";" definitions (extra2 will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold). - lead=yes. Optional. This should be used for the first instance of Japanese, usually in the lead. It gives the reader an idea what kind of non-English writing they are viewing.
- post=<postscript>. Optional. Additional characters, such as commas, added after the visible English name but before the reference.
- group<group name>. Optional. Can be used to define a custom references group. The group is then called by using
<references group="group" />instead of the normal<references />. - ref_name<name>. Optional. Can be used to define a custom reference name. Use when the note is called multiple times with the same value on a page.
- lead=yes. Optional. This should be used for the first instance, usually a footnote in the lead. It gives the reader an idea what kind of non-English writing they are viewing.

Error messaging
[edit]This template emits one error message of its own:
- error: {{nihongo foot}}: Japanese or romaji text required
One of the positional parameters <kanji/kana> ({{{2}}}), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <rōmaji> ({{{3}}}) is required for proper operation of this template. Articles with these errors are collected in Category:Nihongo template errors (10).
This error often occurs because the template is malformed:
{{Nihongo foot|東京タワー}}instead of{{Nihongo foot||東京タワー}}; 東京タワー is in{{{1}}}(<English>) instead of{{{2}}}(<kanji/kana>). To resolve this error, add the missing pipe (|).
Because this template uses {{lang}} and {{transl}} which emit their own error messages, see the help text for those at:
- Category:Lang and lang-xx template errors – for error messages emitted by
{{lang}} - Category:Transliteration template errors – for error messages emitted by
{{transl}}
See also
[edit]- {{Nihongo}}, original: generates everything that is in a footnote inside parenthesis
- {{Nihongo3}}, essentially the same as {{Nihongo}}, but gives romaji first and English inside the parentheses
- {{Nihongo krt}}, essentially the same as {{Nihongo}}, but gives kanji first with rōmaji and English inside the parentheses
- {{Nihongo2}}, also displays the kanji properly, but without adding anything in parentheses, without romaji and without the extra parameters
- {{Nihongo-s}}, a simplified version of {{Nihongo}} without the extra spans or checks
Like {{Nihongo}}, allows kanji/kana and rōmaji text, but puts them in footnotes
