Template:Infobox name module/sandbox

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Infobox name module}} is used to add a film's original native title (along with the romanized equivalent if necessary) to the infobox on film articles in cases where the WP:COMMONNAME title of the film is different. It is NOT for adding general purpose translations to the infobox, even in cases where the film was a co-production between several different countries. Any title besides the original native copyrighted title should be removed. In cases where there is a dispute over which title is the native title, discuss the matter at the article talk page and arrive at a consensus before adding the title to the infobox.

Usage

The template takes the various film titles and is assigned to the |native_name= parameter at {{Infobox film}}. The native language and original title of a film can be assigned to the language and title parameters.

This template is not compatible with use in the |native_name= parameter in infoboxes that wrap that parameter in <span>...</span> or <div>...</div> tags; its use in such situations causes misnested span or div tags. In those infoboxes, put this template in |module= or |embedded=, if present.

This template used to support parameters for languages with multiple writing systems. They have been removed following a successful merger proposal and are replaced with other templates which have more options, which are listed in the #Former parameters section. The parameters supported by this template are |1=, |2=, |language=, |nolink=, |title=, |original= and |translation=.

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

The first two parameters do not need to be named. For example, {{Infobox name module|Japanese|千と千尋の神隠し}} and {{Infobox name module|ja|千と千尋の神隠し}} will render the same as {{Infobox name module|language=Japanese|title=千と千尋の神隠し}}. An example of this type of usage can be viewed at Godless (film) where the Bulgarian title is rendered in the infobox.

Parameter	Explanation
language	The name of the language either in full (e.g. English) or using an {{ISO 639 name}} (e.g. "en"). If the language parameter is not set then the template will automatically set the name of the field to "Original title".
title	The film's title as represented in the language
original	The same parameter as "title". They can be used interchangeably. "Title" was introduced as a more intuitive parameter name when the template was updated, but "original" is retained to ensure older versions of the template continue to work correctly.
nolink	Set to "1" to deactivate the automatic linking of the language
translation	Translation of native name
