Template:Infobox name module
{{Infobox name module}} 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 change
The template takes the various film titles and is assigned to the film name parameter at {{Infobox film}}. The native language and original title of a film can be assigned to the language and title parameters, or by using the dedicated parameters for Chinese, Korean, Japanese and Vietnamese films.
General change
{{Infobox name module
| language =
| title =
| nolink =
}}
Chinese change
{{Infobox name module
| traditional =
| simplified =
| chinese =
| pinyin =
| jyutping =
| poj =
| translation =
| lbl8 =
| data8 =
}}
Japanese change
{{Infobox name module
| kanji =
| romaji =
| translation =
}}
Korean change
{{Infobox name module
| hangul =
| hanja =
| rr =
| mr =
| context =
| translation =
}}
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 =
}}
Vietnamese change
{{Infobox name module
| chuquocngu =
| han-nom =
| translation =
}}
Parameters change
All parameters are optional.
General change
The first two parameters do not need to be named. For example, {{Infobox name module|Japanese|千と千尋の神隠し}} will render the same as {{Infobox name module|language=Japanese|title=千と千尋の神隠し}}. An example of this type of usage can be viewed at Godless (film) where the Bulgarian title is rendered in the infobox.
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| language | The name of the language either in full (e.g. English) or using an {{ISO 639 name}} (e.g. "en"). If the language parameter is not set then the template will automatically set the name of the field to "Original title". |
| title | The film's title as represented in the language |
| original | The same parameter as "title". They can be used interchangeably. "Title" was introduced as a more intuitive parameter name when the template was updated, but "original" is retained to ensure older versions of the template continue to work correctly. |
| nolink | Set to "1" to deactivate the automatic linking of the language |
