Module:alternative forms/documentation

This module is called by {{alter}}, the template that is used in Alternative forms sections to link the alternative forms of a term and to show which dialect or spelling system they belong to.

The dialect labels used after an empty parameter are now the same as those used by {{lb}}, and can be found in the labels data modules, e.g. Module:labels/data/lang/en for English and Module:labels/data/lang/grc for Ancient Greek.
