Usage:  

You should preferably include all forms: one as the headword (identified by the first parameter), the others by the named parameters.

The first parameter is the form of the headword (pagename):


 * t traditional Chinese
 * s simplified Chinese
 * ts both traditional and simplified (for when the two forms agree)
 * p Pinyin

Thus on 學 you use t, on 学 you use s, on日 you use ts, and on rì you use <tt>p</tt>.

Other parameters are:

Note: there is no parameter for Wade-Giles romanization.
 * <tt>tra=</tt> traditional form (optional, use if not <tt>t</tt> or <tt>ts</tt>)
 * <tt>sim=</tt> simplified form (optional, use if not <tt>s</tt> or <tt>ts</tt>)
 * <tt>tas=</tt> traditional and simplified form (if <tt>p</tt>)
 * <tt>pin=</tt> Pinyin (optional, use if not <tt>p</tt>)
 * <tt>pint=</tt> Pinyin with tone numbers (e.g. ci2dian3); used for category indexing
 * <tt>mw=</tt> The associated measure word, e.g., for five dictionaries one writes 五本字典 (the measure word is 本) so the entry for 字典 includes <tt>mw=本</tt> (optional)
 * <tt>rs=</tt> radical/additional strokes for category indexing, e.g. 辛12, stroke count must be 2 digits (required if not <tt>p</tt>)
