This template emits one error message of its own:
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|東京タワー}}
instead of {{Nihongo||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 (|
) or consider using {{lang}}
or {{transl}}
Because this template uses {{lang}}
and {{transl}}
which emit their own error messages, see the help text for those at:
{{lang}}
{{transl}}
This cannot be used within a Wikilink in an article or in any template or other page that is transcluded into an article.
