Usage
There are several optional parameters, default values – which are shown below – should be fine for the katakana article, but probably not for others.
Colors
If an article does not need to distinguish certain groups visually their colors can be set to the same value, e.g.: {{katakana table|obsolete color=#EFFAFA}} (same as normal color).
-
|normal color=#EFFAFA -
|unused color=#EFFAFA -
|etymologic color=#EFFAFA -
|obsolete color=#E9E9E9 -
|yoon color=#F3F5DE -
|gojuon header color=#BECFEB -
|yoon header color=#D4D4D4
Table entries
The notes on unused, obsolete and etymologic characters can be changed and combined: {{katakana table|unused text=New text for all three.|obsolete=unused|etymologic=unused|legend=}}
|legend= Grey background indicates obsolete characters.

The character wo, in practice normally pronounced o, is preserved in only one use: as a particle. This is normally written in hiragana (を), so katakana ヲ sees only limited use. See Gojūon and the articles on each character for details.used for <ref name="obsolete"> in notes
|di=|du=|dya=|dyu=|dyo=|etymologic=etymologicused in <ref name="etymologic" group="n" />|etymologic text=The ヂ (di) and ヅ (du) kana (often romanised as ji and zu) are primarily used for etymologic spelling, when the unvoiced equivalents チ (ti) and ツ (tu) (often romanised as chi and tsu) undergo a sound change (rendaku) and become voiced when they occur in the middle of a compound word. In other cases, the identically-pronounced ジ (ji) and ズ (zu) are used instead. ヂ (di) and ヅ (du) can never begin a word, and they are not common in katakana, since the concept of rendakudoes not apply to transcribed foreign words, one of the major uses of katakana.used for <ref name="etymologic">
