Features

Module:dialect synonyms/und / Module:dialect synonyms/und/word is a sample of features, and can be used as a reference for adding new languages.

Module:dialect synonyms/ko is also a good reference.

Naming

In regard to module naming (using yo and the word funfun as an example):

Module:dialect synonyms/yo contains the information on Yoruba locations and table layout;
Module:dialect synonyms/yo/ohun contains information on synonyms of ohun.
If |id= is given, it will be suffixed to the page title to disambiguate homonyms: Module:dialect synonyms/yo/funfun/to be white, for funfun (verb), and Module:dialect synonyms/yo/funfun/white for funfun (noun)
Module:dialect synonyms/yo/ is an empty model that will be preloaded when starting a new synonyms dataset (to see this in action, click on the link in →Create Module:dialect synonyms/yo/example word?);

Syntax

In regard to term syntax, see Module:dialect synonyms/und/word for examples. In particular:

the term<tr:the transliteration><q:the qualifier> (inline modifier syntax) is supported.
- will produce —, representing the lack of a term.

Other features

The syntax Module:dialect synonyms/<language code>:<qualifier>/<neutral English term> is also supported, in anticipation of future migration from Module:zh-Christian-syn (Module:zh/data/Christian-syn/amen→Module:dialect synonyms/zh:Christian/amen).

Latitude and longitude can be added to the location information, in anticipation of an equivalent to {{zh-dial-map}}. However, such a map has not been coded yet. In addition, deriving latitude and longitude from Wikidata would probably be more economical.
