- <Template:Var>. Required when <Template:Var> is empty. Transliteration of the Japanese word, using Hepburn Romanization.
- 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.

extra=

Error messaging
badloThis template emits one error message of its own:
- error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required
One of the positional parameters <Template:Var>
({{{2}}}
), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <Template:Var>
({{{3}}}
) is required for proper operation of this template. Articles with these errors are collected in Category:Nihongo template errors (0).
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}}}
(<Template:Var>
) instead of{{{2}}}
(<Template:Var>
). 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:
- Category:Lang and lang-xx template errors – for error messages emitted by
{{lang}}
- Category:Transl template errors – for error messages emitted by
{{transl}}
Limitations
badloThis cannot be used within a Wikilink in an article or in any template or other page that is transcluded into an article.
