Template:Infobox name module

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

{{Film name}} 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 film name parameter at {{Infobox film}}. The template currently accommodates three languages: Chinese, Korean and Japanese.

Chinese

{{Infobox name module
| traditional    = 
| simplified     = 
| pinyin         = 
| jyutping       = 
| poj            = 
}}

Japanese

{{Infobox name module
| kanji          = 
| romaji         = 
}}

Korean

{{Infobox name module
| hangul         = 
| hanja          = 
| rr             = 
| mr             = 
| context        = 
}}

Alternatively, for Korean names the Infobox Korean name template can be used as a module, with similar results (note that the host infobox requires a module parameter to utilize this approach):

{{Infobox Korean name|child=yes|color=transparent
| hangul     = 
| hanja      = 
| rr         = 
| mr         = 
| context    =
}}
