Template:ar-root/documentation

Usage
This template has two uses. In entries on Arabic roots, such as, it serves as a headword template, and requires no parameters. In other entries, it serves as a link template, and if the root consonants are supplied to it, it links to the entry on the Arabic root and categorizes a word in a category of terms derived from the root.

If this template is being used in a non-Arabic entry, add 1 parameter to prevent the entry being categorized.

If you add 1, then the template will simply categorize without adding any visible text.

Example
&lrm; &rarr; &rlm;

You can also write the root as a single parameter, with spaces between the root letters:

&lrm; &rarr; &rlm;

Finally, if the page is itself a root page, you can use with no parameters as the headword template under the part-of-speech header Root.

Hamza
Roots containing hamza must use the bare hamza: for instance,, not. If you use a seated hamza, the module will give an error.
