Uses Lua:

• Module:dialect synonyms

Dialectal/regional/synchronic synonyms template/module.

|1= (required)

A language code.

|2= (optional)

A word, the word used to name the dataset. If not given, the fallback is the current pagename.

Module:dialect synonyms/und 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.

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/funfun contains information on synonyms of funfun (verb).
• -<number> can be appended to add information on words with the same form: Module:dialect synonyms/yo/funfun-1 contains information on synonyms of 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?);

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

• 今_2/the transliteration:the qualifier is syntax inherited from Module:zh-dial-syn.
  • _2 is converted to the anchor #Etymology_2. This is liable to break for any language that does not appear early in header order (i.e. any language that is not English or Chinese). Do not use this.
• Words can also take the form of a Module:links#export.full_link object.
• - will produce .

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.
