Lang Templates for Chinese[edit]

Remsense (talk · contribs), I couldn't find a spot on your talk page, but mine is wide open! Could you explain the edits you made on postal romanization so that I can understand and specifically what you meant by needing to use |script-title=? Thanks!

Right! So, the reason is that the same language can be written with different scripts, so our Citation Style (aka CS1 etc.) parameter |title= is taken as using the Latin script, as well as |trans-title=, which is to provide an English translation of a title in another language. I recommend keeping that page in your pocket, the CS1 documentation is great—but to summarize, you just have to put the native script in the |script-title= parameter like:
|last=Qiu |first=Xigui |publisher=The Commercial Press |year=2013 |edition=2nd |location=Beijing |language=zh |script-title=zh:文字学概要 |trans-title=Chinese Writing
where the zh: prefix indicates that Chinese characters are being used. Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way, let me know if you have any other questions! Remsense诉 02:14, 15 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
