Usage[edit source]

{{Pluralize from text|generic parameter|singular=singular output|plural=plural output|link=wikilink}}
{{Pluralize from text|generic parameter|plural argument|singular output|plural output|wikilink}}

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[edit source]

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[edit source]

{{Pluralize from text|Chicagoan|singular=singular|plural=plural}} → singular

{{Pluralize from text|761 and 345|singular=singular|plural=plural}} → plural

{{Pluralize from text||761/345|singular=singular|plural=plural}} → plural

{{Pluralize from text|Chicagoan|singular=Demonym|plural=Demonyms|link=Demonym}}Demonym

{{Pluralize from text|761 and 345|singular=Area Code|plural=Area Codes|link=Area code}}Area Codes
