error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required

One of the positional parameters <kanji/kana> ({{{2}}}), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <rōmaji> ({{{3}}}) is required for proper operation of this template. Articles with these errors are collected in Template:Clc.

This error often occurs because the template is malformed:

Error messaging

wax ka badal

This template emits one error message of its own:

error: {{nihongo}}: Japanese or romaji text required

One of the positional parameters <kanji/kana> ({{{2}}}), the 'Japanese' referred to in the error message or <rōmaji> ({{{3}}}) is required for proper operation of this template. Articles with these errors are collected in Template:Clc.

This error often occurs because the template is malformed:

{{Nihongo|東京タワー}} instead of {{Nihongo||東京タワー}}; 東京タワー is in {{{1}}} (<english>) instead of {{{2}}} (<kanji/kana>). To resolve this error, add the missing pipe (|) or consider using {{lang}} or {{transl}}

Because this template uses Template:Tld and {{transl}} which emit their own error messages, see the help text for those at:

Template:Cl – for error messages emitted by Template:Tld
