(Proposed sample CJK template to make the entries look more like a CJK-English dictionary than a character dictionary, by splitting character-specific information from language-specific information. The Romanization table is not a necessary accessory, just an example of what could be done, similar to the pronunciation tables I have been adding. It may not scale well when we begin adding pronunciation data from other dialects, or other romanization schemes [or phonetic ones such as, hopefully, IPA]. And yes, not the character but the word 森 is derived from 林; Starostin derives them from Old Chinese *s-rəm and *rəm, respectively.)
