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 {{para|type}} according to the type of writing system:
{| style="background:transparent; text-align:center; font-size:120%;" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="3"
|style="background:palegreen;" | Abjad
|style="background:lightblue;" | Alphabet
|style="background:navajowhite;" | Abugida
|style="background:pink;" | Syllabary
|style="background:violet;" | Semisyllabary

|style="background:turquoise;" | Shorthand
|style="background:gainsboro;" | Undeciphered
|style="background:khaki;" | Alternative

|}

===Shorthand `SHform`, `SHtype` ===
{{cot|title={{mono|SHform}}, {{mono|SHtype}} parameter options|bg=#eee}}
;{{para|SHform}}
{{para|SHform}} should only be included if {{para|type}} = {{mono|stenography}} or {{mono|shorthand}}. Select text color coding according to the shorthand letterforms:

|style="background:white; color:black;" | (default)
|}
;{{para|SHtype}}
{{para|SHtype}} should only be included if {{para}} is {{mono|stenography}} or {{mono|shorthand}}. Select background color coding according to the type of writing system:
{| style="background:transparent; text-align:center; font-size:120%;" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="3"
|style="background:palegreen;" | Abjadi
|style="background:palegreen;" | Consonantal
|style="background:lightblue;" | Alphabetic

=== Parameter `direction` ===
{{Wikidata property|P1406}}
{{para|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 [[Template:Infobox writing system/ipa-note|this note]]:

{{quote|text={{Infobox writing system/ipa-note}}|style=background:#ddd;}}

Setting {{para|note|none}} will hide this text.
