This template is for Arabic collective nouns (nouns which are grammatically singular but have a plural meaning, and where the equivalent feminine noun has a singulative meaning). The equivalent feminine noun, with singulative meaning, should use {{ar-sing-noun}}. See شجر for an example of a collective noun that uses many of the parameters below.

Parameters

1= and head2=, head3= ...: Overrides the displayed headword. This should be used to provide the vocalized equivalent of page name (i.e. with vowel diacritics). Should always be included.; Additional parameters are available if there are multiple possible vocalized equivalents of page name.
tr= and tr2=, tr3= ...: Transliteration. Normally unnecessary if the vocalized form was already provided, as it will be automatically derived. But see comments in {{ar-noun}} about irregular spellings of borrowed nouns and consequent need to specify transliterations (see also Wiktionary:About Arabic#Romanization).; If multiple vocalised variants of the page name were provided, then each one has a corresponding numbered trN= parameter.
