Module:sa-headword/documentation

This module powers all Sanskrit headword-line templates. All of them support at least the following arguments:


 * head, head2, head3, ...
 * Explicitly specified headword(s), for introducing links in multiword expressions. Note that by default each word of a multiword lemma is linked, so you only need to use this when the default links don't suffice (e.g. the multiword expression consists of non-lemma forms, which need to be linked to their lemmas).


 * tr, tr2, tr3, ...
 * Manual transliteration(s), in case the automatic transliteration is incorrect.


 * sc
 * Script code. Rarely needs to be given, as the script is normally autodetected.


 * sort
 * Sort key. Rarely needs to be given, as the sort key is autogenerated and is usually correct.


 * id
 * Sense ID code, for linking to this headword. See . Only needed for distinguishing multiple Sanskrit headwords on the same page.

NOTE: All headword templates that go through Module:sa-headword automatically add the page to a script-specific category for the part of speech in question, in addition to the normal part of speech category. For example, when used with a term in Devanagari script automatically adds the page to both Category:Sanskrit noun forms and Category:Sanskrit noun forms in Devanagari script (regardless of whether sc was explicitly given; if not given, the correct script is autodetected).

For participles,2 can be one of "gerundive", "perfect"/"perf", "future"/"fut", "present"/"pres", or "past". 3 can be one of "active"/"act"/"a", "mediopassive"/"mediopass"/"mp", or "passive"/"pass"/"p". Adding these parameters will categorize the page correctly and add a gloss to the headword line.
