taskforce specific parameters. As such when this template was created we only merged the parameters that existed in those infoboxes at that time. If pronunication parameters had been present in the original infoboxes they would have been merged into this, but since they did not they do not exist in this template. That's not to say they should not exist, or will not exist, but rather it was beyond the scope of the template at the time.

I find it useful to see the film name in the source language at the top of the infobox where the name of the film is. As I only know one Asian language I find the romanization very helpful to be able to pronounce the name properly as it is the official name of the film. I don't know about Japanese as

Thank you for your effort in creating the template. I sincerely appreciate your effort and do not wish to disparage it. I apologize if my comment above seems undiplomatic. However, my strong feeling is that when a general or average reader looks at an article on a film, it is extremely distracting to

Pinging you on this since I notice you're a template editor and you've expressed some interest in this template a while back. I'm not sure what the usual process for requesting edits to templates is, so I apologise if this is unwarranted, it's just that it's been some time since the original comment

I just noticed this and definitely agree! Frankly it's just odd to see it say "simplified" or "traditional" but then not display the characters in the appropriate font. I also tested this template and found that it correctly formats Korean hanja, so all the more reason it should be changed to handle

The problem is that some of the parameters share names but have different functionality from what I recall. I had a go at merging it last year but came to the conclusion it was more hassle than it was worth. On the other hand somebody else thought it was straightforward to carry out so maybe I am

While this template has an option to delink the language, can anything be done to change the link? Because if I type {{Infobox name module|Hindi|हिंदी}}, the language link is ] which redirects to ]. But I thought templates aren't supposed to redirect, but directly link. Can anything be done about
639:
The template should take it. Whether it is "allowed" or not depends on the relevant taskforce (listed at the top of this talk page) supporting the template. If a taskforce for the language you want to add doesn't support it then you can ask them to support it; if a taskforce doesn't exist then I

I know this template has been "replaced" by individual Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese templates, but this template is still commonly used for names in those languages (and frankly, it's easier to just use this template when the native name is all that's desired, and not all of the

this intermediary template was created with two specific aims: i) to avoid clutter in the main infobox and ii) because "Infobox film" is a protected template it was difficult for the foreign language film task forces to edit, so having a non-protected name template facilitated maintenance of

the template I'm not really in a position to help you since it is the Japanese cinema task force that created the parameters in the original Japanese film box, so that's why you need to talk to them. I can handle any technical changes, but it's up to them what is changed.

much but I know Korean has two main forms of romanization and those affect pronouncation as well as the name in the source language is usually very different than it is in English. I hope the debate/discussion goes well in the Japanese cinema task force page. Take care.

when using non-English text to specify its language in the HTML. This template does do it for Japanese, but doesn't seem to do it for Chinese. Lang tagging is especially important for CJK because it signals the OS to use a proper font and actually affects

There is no easy way to perform the merge IMO. The merge was put forward as a "nice" idea without any thought given to the practicality of it. These templates perform different functions and there is hardly any functional overlap.
435:
I certainly agree that the native name and the romanized form of the name should be in the infobox. There is only one romanization used for Japanese on Knowledge (XXG). I don't have any suggestions for changing the Korean format.

I am not aware of the rule that templates should not link through redirects, but it is easy enough to link directly if that is what you want to do. Basically you just need to disable automatic linking and wikilink manually:

Yes, I know Frietjes, that wasn't though what I was asking. A merge discussion over a year ago resulted in the decision to merge those 2 templates into this one. I was following up on this to see where it currently stands.

hard. It would need parameter name changes as some are conflicting and some are just bad. I'll need to research a bit more how to create an infobox in lua as currently that is what is blocking me from moving forward.

This template was created with the sole purpose to "merge" parameters from the foreign language film infoboxes into the main film infobox to standardise usage. Rather than dropping a dozen extra parameters into

Betty Logan, what different functions to they perform? I haven't taken a deep dive into this yet, but on the surface it seems both represent the translated name and they just differ in style. --

Would it be possible to display the Japanese a bit more simply? It is kind of horrible to have all the blue links to "Kanji" and "Hepburn" right at the top of an article about a film.

I added the template Infobox name module to a couple of film articles, and I'm confused, is it supposed to display the original-language title in the infobox? See for example
1253: 479:; the Bulgarian version of the title is not showing up in the infobox. Or is the purpose of the template just to include metadata but not display anything in the article? 991: 1228: 1218: 1238: 74: 1233: 1223: 1082:
