While it is probably important to always list at least the immediate 'parent' of any writing system, it isn't always practical to list all of the 'children' if this number is too large.

Parameter type

Select color coding according to the type of writing system:

Abjad	Alphabet	Abugida	Syllabary	Semisyllabary
Manual	Pictographic	Ideographic	Logographic
Stenography	Shorthand	Undeciphered	Alternative	(default)

Shorthand SHform, SHtype

SHform, SHtype parameter options

SHform

SHform should only be included if "type" = stenography or shorthand. Select text color coding according to the shorthand letterforms:

Cursive	Printed	Stenographic	Geometric	Script
Semi-Script	Elliptical	Script-Geometric	(default)

SHtype

SHtype should only be included if "type" = stenography or shorthand. Select background color coding according to the type of writing system:

Abjadi	Consonantal	Alphabetic	Abugida	Syllabic
Semisyllabic	Mixed	Undeciphered	Alternative	(default)

Parameter direction

|direction= can be used to enter the directionality. When this parameter not used, the template reads this value from Wikidata.

Parameter note

As a bottom there can be shown this note:

This page contains phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters.

Setting |note=none will hide this text.
