| SHform = (see 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,

| footnotes = (Some information about the writing system)
| note = (set to "none" to cancel IPA warning)
}}
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.
