Soft-redirect template for Japanese entries, using Module:ja-see.

This template can be used to redirect alternative spellings to lemma entries. The advantage over {{alternative spelling of|ja}} is that: (1) This template can be the whole content under ==Japanese== or ===Etymology n===, so that you don't need to copy the PoS header and the headword template from the lemma entry to the alternative spelling entries. (2) The template offers a preview of the lemma entry, currently the definitions and the other alternative spellings (more can be added in the future).

See い and 貴方 for examples.

Usage

|1= and |2=, |3= ...

Entries to redirect to.

|type= (optional) and |type1=, |type2=, |type3= ...

Type of the redirect, which explains the relation between the redirect entry and the main entry. Predifined types are:

• |type=rom: Romaji.
• |type=hira: Hiragana spelling.
• |type=kata: Katakana spelling.
• |type=hkana: Historical kana spelling.
• |type=kyu: Kyūjitai.
• |type=kyualt: Kyūjitai of an alternative form.
• |type=alt: Alternative form.

The template can usually detect the redirect types above by itself so this parameter is not needed for them.

• |type=eshin: Extended shinjitai.

Custom redirect types are also accepted:

• |type=an uncommon shinjitai form

|key= (optional) and |key2=, |key3= ...

This parameter is a kana form used to further filter the alternative forms by reading. It is only used when |type1=alt or |type1=kyualt. It has no effect otherwise.

Requirements on the lemma entry

This template displays the relevant definitions on the entries it redirects to. Definitions are considered relevant if:

* In the case of |type=rom, |type=hira, |type=kata, the title of the redirect entry should be consistent with a kana spelling in the headword templates.

* In the case of |type=alt, |type=kyualt, the title of the redirect entry (or its shinjitai form) should be listed in either {{ja-kanjitab|alt=...}} or {{ja-def|...}}. If |key= exists, it should also be one of the kana spellings in the headword templates.

* In the case of |type=kyu, the title of the redirect entry should be the kyūjitai of the main entry.

* In the case of all other redirect types, including custom ones, there is no requirement. All definitions found are considered relevant.

Note
