Usage

For more details on when to use this template, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (Japan-related articles) and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (footnotes).

Syntax

{{Nihongo foot|English|Kanji|Rōmaji|extra|extra2|group=group}} <references group="group" />

English

This template marks the Kanji segment as being in Japanese Kanji, which helps user agents (web browsers and so on) to display it correctly. It also applies the t_nihongo_kanji CSS class. The footnote generated is called using the <references />

Parameters

• 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. Required. The word in Japanese kanji and/or kana, the logographic writing system.
• Romaji. Optional. The word in Japanese Romaji, the Romanized syllabic writing system used for foreign words. Also known as a "transliteration".
• extra. Optional. 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).
• group. 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 />

Examples

Regular use

{{Nihongo foot|English|英語|eigo}} <references />

English

With group defined

{{Nihongo foot|English|英語|eigo|group=nb}} <references group="nb" />
