What about characters with no shinjitai form?
This template improperly labels Japanese characters with no simplified form (hyogai kanji, like 餡) as "shinjitai." It should either show "Japanese" or have a separate kyujital labeling. Ulmanor 21:35, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. I'm requesting that the template be renamed to  to make room for. To make the move would require a bot to update existing pages using the old. -- Dine2016 (talk) 03:19, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
 * is used in the Translingual section to list the Japanese (shinjitai), Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese form of a kanji (Chinese character).
 * (short for ) is used in the Japanese section, originally to list the kanji spellings of a Japanese term, but has now been expanded to include the kana spellings as well. As such, the name is no longer accurate. Since a name such as is too long to type, and since the template is inspired by  (despite falling short in functionality), the name  would be better.
