| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Arabic script needed. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Specific information relating to this template
Add the template alone if the article needs Arabic script for an Arabic language name. If the article's subject name is in any of the languages listed in the syntax, add the corresponding parameter. The full syntax is as follows:
{{Arabic
|Persian=
|Urdu=
|Kurdish=
|Malay=
|Azerbaijani=
|Pashto=
|Uyghur=
|Tajik=
|Kazakh=
|Swahili=
|Somali=
|Comorian=
|Chinese=
}}
- language name= yes if the article pertains specifically to a specific language
To avoid needlessly cluttering up talk pages, it is usually appropriate to remove any unused parameters from the template.
You may also use the {{Persian}} template for Persian script requests.
Notes
While most of these languages use the Arabic alphabet only, some use the Arabic alphabet in certain areas only or have used the Arabic alphabet previously. Please note that:
- the Azerbaijani language used by its speakers in Iran uses the Arabic alphabet;
- the Kazakh language used by its speakers in China uses the Arabic alphabet;
- the Tajik language has used the Arabic alphabet in the past, before replacing it with the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets;
- the Swahili language has used the Arabic alphabet in the past;
- the Chinese languages use the Arabic alphabet, Xiao'erjing, in Islamic writing;
- one of the writing systems of the Somali language, Wadaad's writing, is based on the Arabic alphabet;
- and the Comorian language uses both the Arabic and Latin alphabets.
Please do not tag articles unless you are sure that their subjects' names need the Arabic script (satisfying the conditions above).
