Module:tl-headword/documentation
This module is used for Tagalog headword-line templates. This module implements {{tl-noun}}, {{tl-proper noun}}, {{tl-verb}}, {{tl-adj}}, {{tl-adv}}, {{tl-num}} (for numerals), {{tl-prep}} (for prepositions) and {{tl-pron}} (for pronouns) and {{tl-head}} (for other parts of speech). See the documentation of those templates for more information.
The module is always invoked the same way, by passing a single parameter to the "show" function. This parameter is the name of the part of speech, but in plural (examples given are for nouns, and for adjective forms respectively):
{{#invoke:tl-headword|show|nouns}}
{{#invoke:tl-headword|show|adjective forms}}
If the part of speech is omitted, the template being implemented must have the part of speech (in its singular form, e.g. interjection) specified in |1=. This is used to support {{tl-head}}.
The template will, by default, accept the following parameters (specific parts of speech may accept or require others):
|1=,|head2=,|head3=, ...- Override the headword display; used to add accents to the headword and/or links to individual words in a multiword term. Use the value
+to explicitly request the default (which is the same as the page name). Note that it no longer works to specify a blank parameter to request the default; you must use+. Note also that if the invoking template is{{tl-head}}, parameter|1=is instead the part of speech (in its singular form, e.g.interjection), and|2=is the first explicit headword. |b=,|b2=,|b3=, ...- Specify the corresponding Baybayin-script spelling of a Latin-script term. The value can be either the actual Baybayin spelling or the Latin-script equivalent. The value
+is equivalent to specifying the page name. |tr=,|tr2=,|tr3=, ...- Override the default transliteration, if the page name is in the Baybayin script rather than the Latin script.
|tr=corresponds to|1=,|tr2=to|head2=,|tr3=to|head3=, etc. Rarely necessary. |id=- Sense ID for linking to this headword. See
{{senseid}}for more information. |nolink=1or|nolinkhead=1- Don't link individual words in the headword of a multiword term. Useful for foreign or otherwise unanalyzable terms, where the expression functions as a whole in Tagalog but the individual parts are not Tagalog words.
|suffix=1- Indicate that a term is a suffix even if it doesn't begin with a hyphen. Useful for Baybayin-script suffixes. See #Suffix handling below.
|nosuffix=1- Prevent terms beginning with a hyphen from being interpreted as suffixes. See #Suffix handling below.
|addlpos=- Comma-separated list of additional parts of speech that suffix can form. See #Suffix handling below.
|pagename=- Override the page name used to compute default values of various sorts. Useful when testing, for documentation pages, etc.
Suffix handling
If the term begins with a hyphen (-), it is assumed to be a suffix rather than a base form, and is categorized into Category:Tagalog suffixes and Category:Tagalog POS-forming suffixes rather than Category:Tagalog POSs (e.g. Category:Tagalog noun-forming suffixes rather than Category:Tagalog nouns). This behavior can also be obtained for terms not beginning with a hyphen using |suffix=1, and can be prevented using |nosuffix=1. If the suffix can form multiple parts of speech and it is not desirable to use separate headers for these (e.g. for alternative forms), use |addlpos= to specify the additional parts of speech (comma-separated).
