Template:pi-nr-inflection of/documentation

This template is used to create definition lines for inflected (non-lemma) forms of other non-Roman Pali terms. It use Module:form of as a back-end, and channels the parameters via {{inflection of}}. It links to the other form in both the non-Roman script and its Roman script equivalent, and will display the transliteration to Roman script if different to the equivalent. It is not intended for and will not work for Roman script Pali; use {{inflection of}} for the Roman script. This template takes the same general parameters as {{l}} and {{m}}, and it uses the same post-processing on the parameters. This includes script detection, removing diacritics, processing embedded links, and so on. This template exists because of problems with the use of the original template {{inflection of}}, which have been raised at WT:Grease pit/2021/June#Pali Transliteration Issues. Because of the existence of multiple spelling systems, one spelling may mean different things in different writing systems. Some Lao writing systems for Pali drop distinctions that are not reflected in the Lao pronunciation. Consequently, the automatic Romanisation, the correct Romanisation and the Roman script equivalent may all be different. As a knock-on effect, replacing the transliteration field by a link causes the page to be placed in Category:Pali terms with non-redundant manual transliterations.
