This template emits one error message of its own:
One of the positional parameters <kanji/kana>
((({2))}
), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <rōmaji>
((({3))}
) is required for proper operation of this template. Articles with these errors are collected in Category:Nihongo template errors (0).
This error often occurs because the template is malformed:
((Nihongo|東京タワー))
instead of ((Nihongo||東京タワー))
; 東京タワー is in (({1))}
(<english>
) instead of (({2))}
(<kanji/kana>
). To resolve this error, add the missing pipe (|
) or consider using ((lang))
or ((transl))
Because this template uses ((lang))
and ((transl))
which emit their own error messages, see the help text for those at:
((lang))
((transl))
