{{Tl|Infobox name module}} is used to add a film's original native title (along with the romanized equivalent if necessary) to the infobox on film articles in cases where the [[WP:COMMONNAME]] title of the film is different. It is NOT for adding general purpose translations to the infobox, even in cases where the film was a co-production between several different countries. Any title besides the original native copyrighted title should be removed. In cases where there is a dispute over which title is the native title, discuss the matter at the article talk page and arrive at a consensus before adding the title to the infobox.

== Usage ==
The template takes the various film titles and is assigned to the {{para|native_name}} parameter at {{tl|Infobox film}}. The native language and original title of a film can be assigned to the <code>language</code> and <code>title</code> parameters.

This template is not compatible with use in the {{para|native_name}} parameter in infoboxes that wrap that parameter in {{tag|span}} or {{tag|div}} tags; its use in such situations causes misnested span or div tags. In those infoboxes, put this template in {{para|module}} or {{para|embedded}}, if present.

This template used to support parameters for languages with multiple writing systems. They have been removed following a [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2017 April 7#Template:Infobox name module|successful merger proposal]] and are replaced with other templates which have more options, which are listed in the [[#Former parameters]] section. The parameters supported by this template are {{para|1}}, {{para|2}}, {{para|language}}, {{para|nolink}}, {{para|title}}, {{para|original}} and {{para|translation}}.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" style="overflow: auto;">
{{Infobox name module
| language =
| title =
| nolink =
| translation =
}}
</syntaxhighlight>

== Parameters ==
All parameters are optional.

The first two parameters do not need to be named. For example, <code><nowiki>{{Infobox name module|Japanese|千と千尋の神隠し}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{Infobox name module|ja|千と千尋の神隠し}}</nowiki></code> will render the same as <code><nowiki>{{Infobox name module|language=Japanese|title=千と千尋の神隠し}}</nowiki></code>. An example of this type of usage can be viewed at [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Godless_(film)&diff=745870294&oldid=745865104 Godless (film)] where the Bulgarian title is rendered in the infobox.

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
! style="width:5em;" | Parameter
! Explanation
|-
| language || The name of the language either in full (e.g. English) or using an {{tl|ISO 639 name}} (e.g. "en"). If the language parameter is not set then the template will automatically set the name of the field to "Original title".
|-
| title || The film's title as represented in the language
|-
| original || The same parameter as "title". They can be used interchangeably. "Title" was introduced as a more intuitive parameter name when the template was updated, but "original" is retained to ensure older versions of the template continue to work correctly.
|-
| nolink || Set to "1" to deactivate the automatic linking of the language
|-
| translation || Translation of native name
|-
|}
