This template is used on approximately 101,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
This template should not be used in citation templates such as Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2, because it includes markup that will pollute the COinS metadata they produce; see Wikipedia:COinS. |

Usage
This template marks the kanji
segment as being in Japanese kanji and/or kana, which helps user agents (web browsers and so on) to display it correctly.
Syntax:
Without lead=yes | With lead=yes |
{{Nihongo|<english>|<kanji/kana>|<rōmaji>|<extra>|<extra2>}}
|
{{Nihongo|<english>|<kanji/kana>|<rōmaji>|lead=yes|extra=<extra>|extra2=<extra2>}}
|
Parameters:
- <english>. Optional. The word as translated into English. Note that this will sometimes be the actual Japanese word due to it being adopted into English.
- <kanji/kana>. Required when <rōmaji> is empty or omitted. The word as written using Japanese script (kanji, kana).
- <rōmaji>. Required when <kanji/kana> 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>. Optional. Can be used to add a gloss (particularly if there is no English form). Can also be expressed as a named parameter,
extra=
- <extra2>. Optional. Can also be expressed as a named parameter,
extra2=
. It is only useful in ";" definitions (extra2 will be displayed without bold, whereas text following the template will get the bold).

Error messaging
This template emits one error message of its own:
- error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required
One of the positional parameters <kanji/kana>
({{{2}}}
), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <rōmaji>
({{{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}}}
(<english>
) instead of{{{2}}}
(<kanji/kana>
). 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
This cannot be used within a Wikilink in an article or in any template or other page that is transcluded into an article.
