Notes

• This template automatically guesses whether |2= is a gloss or transliteration. |tr= and |t=/|gloss= are available for when it guesses wrong.
• This template automatically retrieves the first Mandarin pronunciation from a page if a transliteration is not manually given. (Transliteration can be hidden/disabled by making the manual transliteration "-".)
• Simplified forms and pinyin can be suppressed using an asterisk * before the word.
