Nhwɛsoɔ:Pluralize from text

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

{{Pluralize from text|generic parameter|plural argument|singular output|plural output|wikilink (optional)}}

For use in infoboxes. Takes a generic parameter (e.g, |nickname=) and a plural argument (e.g., |nicknames=) and returns a singular output (e.g., "Nickname") if the plural argument is not given and Template:Detect singular determines that the value of |nickname= is singular by examining the text. Otherwise produces plural output (e.g., "Nicknames")

If the wikilink is provided, the returned value will use that as a link, and the output will be the link's display text.

Options

There are four named arguments that control the pluralization:

• |no_comma= By default, commas (or semi-colons) will cause the text string to be considered plural. Setting |no_comma=1 turns this behavior off.
• |any_comma= By default, commas (or semi-colons) that are adjacent to digits are singular. Setting |any_comma=1 turns this behavior off.
• |no_and= By default, "and" causes a string to be plural. Setting |no_and=1 turns this behavior off.
• |parse_links= By default, wikilinks are considered to be unparseable (singular) objects. Setting |parse_links=1 will allow the parser to read the contents of the wikilinks and determine whether that makes the string plural.

Examples
