|t1=, |t2=, |t3=, ...

A gloss for each synonym, if the term is not a perfect synonym of the sense it is placed under. |t1= corresponds to the first specified synonym, |t2= to the second specified synonym, etc. Semicolons are ignored for parameter numbering purposes.

|alt1=, |alt2=, |alt3=, ...

Display text for each of the synonyms, if different from the entry name.

|tr1=, |tr2=, |tr3=, ...

Transliteration for each of the synonyms. Only necessary for terms written in a non-Latin script and only if the automatic transliteration is incorrect (or for languages without automatic transliteration).

|g1=, |g2=, |g3=, ...

Gender and number specification of each synonym, if necessary for clarification. See Module:gender and number for details. Multiple comma-separated gender/number specifications can be given for each synonym.

Inline modifiers

Use a syntax like детекти́вный рома́н<tr:dɛtɛktívnyj román><t:detective novel> to specify modifiers such as transliterations, glosses and qualifiers. In this example, for the Russian term детекти́вный рома́н (dɛtɛktívnyj román, “detective novel”), the manual transliteration dɛtɛktívnyj román and gloss "detective novel" are given. The following modifiers are recognized; see {{link}} for the exact meaning of these modifiers.

• t: gloss
• tr: transliteration
• ts: transcription, for languages where the transliteration and pronunciation are markedly different
• q: qualifier, e.g. rare; this appears before the term, parenthesized and italicized
• qq: qualifier, e.g. rare; this appears after the term, parenthesized and italicized
• g: comma-separated list of gender/number specifications
• alt: alternative display text
• pos: part of speech
• lit: literal meaning
• id: sense ID; see {{senseid}}
• sc: script code

Examples

The following:

# {{lb|ru|colloquial}} [[modern]], [[contemporary]], [[fashionable]]
#: {{syn|ru|совреме́нный|t1=contemporary|мо́дный|t2=fashionable|модерно́вый|tr3=modɛrnóvyj|t3=fashionable, contemporary|q3=colloquial}}

can be equivalently written as follows using inline modifiers:

# {{lb|ru|colloquial}} [[modern]], [[contemporary]], [[fashionable]]
#: {{syn|ru|совреме́нный<t:contemporary>|мо́дный<t:fashionable>|модерно́вый<tr:modɛrnóvyj><t:fashionable, contemporary><q:colloquial>}}

Both produce the following:

1. (colloquial) modern, contemporary, fashionable

Note how the use of inline modifiers frees you from having to make sure the numbers of indexed parameters like |t2=, |tr3= correctly line up with the terms they are referring to. This is especially useful when a large number of synonyms are given. For example, the following:

# {{lb|ru|colloquial|neologism}} [[boyfriend]]
#: {{syn|ru|кавале́р|ухажёр|;|покло́нник<t:admirer, fan>|;|друг<t:boyfriend; friend>|;|па́рень<t:boyfriend; lad, boy>|;|возлю́бленный<t:sweetheart>|люби́мый<t:sweetheart>|;|жени́х<t:fiancé>|;|любо́вник<t:lover>|;|партнёр<t:partner>|;|сожи́тель<t:cohabitant>}}

produces:

1. (colloquial neologism) boyfriend
