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:

Shorthand `SHform`, `SHtype`

Parameter `direction`

|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:
