Module:alternative forms/documentation

This module is called by {{alter}}, the template that is used in Alternative forms sections to link the alternative forms of a term and to show which dialect or spelling system they belong to.

Dialect labels are found in data modules (see Category:Dialectal data modules). The modules are titled with the language code and :Dialects: for instance, Module:en:Dialects. Each label has link text and can give a Wikipedia article that the label should link to. If you would like to create a dialectal data module but do not know how, post on the talk page.
