 Syntax including all possible variables (required parameters marked with asterisk):

  &lt;nowiki&gt;{{Infobox writing system&lt;/nowiki&gt;
  |name        = (*)
  |altname     = 2ary name
  |type        = (*see [[#Options for &quot;type&quot; parameter|type options below]])
  The next three fields, prefixed SH (ShortHand), are optionally used only if &quot;type&quot; = shorthand or stenography:
  |SHline      = (&quot;light&quot; or &quot;heavy&quot; - heavy-line shorthands distinguish thick and thin strokes)
  |SHtype      = (see [[#Options for &quot;SHtype&quot; parameter|SHtype options below]])
  |SHform      = (see [[#Options for &quot;SHform&quot; parameter|SHform options below]])
  |typedesc    = (For providing additional info after a general type)
  |languages   = (Major languages using the writing system)
  |creator     = (Use instead of famN for artificially created writing systems)
  |date        = (Date created)
  |published   = (Date published - for shorthands and script reforms)
  |time        = (*Time period during which system was in use)
  |fam1        = (Use famN to specify parent writing system/s.
  |fam2        =  Up to 15 parent writing systems can be listed,
  ...             fam1 being the oldest.)
  |fam15       = 
  |sisters     = (For sister writing systems here with common origin)
  |children    = (For child writing systems)
  |sample      = (Sample image, WITHOUT &quot;Image:&quot; prefix)
  |imagesize   = (Sample image's size)
  |unicode     = (To specify a Unicode range)
  |iso15924    = (Either the [[ISO 15924]] four-letter code or number. Template will automatically display both)
  |iso15924 note= (To specify more text on the ISO 15924 four-letter codes, e.g. variants, aliases)
  |footnotes   = (Some information about the writing system)
  |note        = none (cancels the IPA warning)
  &lt;nowiki&gt;}}&lt;/nowiki&gt;
 &lt;/div&gt;
 
 While it is probably important to always list at least the immediate 'parent' of any writing system it isn't always practical to list all of the 'children' if this number is too large.
