While it is probably important to always list at least the immediate 'parent' of any writing system, it isn't always practical if this number is too large.

`type` parameter

Select color coding with |type= according to the type of writing system:

Abjad Alphabet Abugida Syllabary Semisyllabary
Manual Pictographic Ideographic Logographic
Stenography Shorthand Undeciphered Alternative (default)

Shorthand `SHform`, `SHtype`

Parameter `direction`

Wikidata has the property: Lua error in Module:Uses_Wikidata at line 13: attempt to index field 'wikibase' (a nil value).

|direction= can be used to enter the directionality. When left unused, the template reads this value from Wikidata.

Parameter `note`

As a bottom there can be shown this note:

Setting |note=none will hide this text.
