I've been working on merging {{tl|zh-full}} into this one. The motivation is that where possible it makes sense to replace instances of {{tl|zh-full}} with {{tl|zh}}, as the recent work on this template has improved its output significantly. Where not possible, so where {{zh-full}} was used because of the features it provides over this one, then it should be possible to add the features to this. In particular the ability to list things in an arbitrary order is something that was pretty much impossible before but can be easily done in Lua.

As a first step I've been going through articles using {{{tl|zh-full}} and replacing them with {{tl|zh}} where possible. I've only been doing this as there are good editorial reasons: this template provides better output (proper language tagging, consistent italicisation), handles special cases better such as t and s being the same, handles empty fields properly, avoids redirects in its links, and is much shorter and easier to type. I've did other cleanup as I went, in particular of Chinese language.
