Template:Pluralize from text/doc

Template:Mbox__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__

{{Pluralize from text}} is used to detect if a text value is a plural list or not. Its intended usage is for infobox parameters, where the label might need to change from a singular version to a plural version.

For example, if an infobox uses a <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|nickname= parameter, the label might change from Nickname to Nicknames if the text value has more than one nickname.

The output of the template can be forced by including {{force singular}} or {{force plural}} in the generic parameter.

Usage

• {{Pluralize from text|text|singular=singular output|likely=likely plural output|plural=plural output|link=wikilink}}
• {{Pluralize from text|text|plural argument|singular output|plural output|wikilink}}

Examples

• {{Pluralize from text|Chicagoan|singular=singular|plural=plural}} → singular
• {{Pluralize from text|761 and 345|singular=singular|plural=plural}} → plural
• {{Pluralize from text|1=|2=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

Parameters

There are five named parameters that control the pluralization:

• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|no_comma= – By default, commas (or semicolons) will cause the text string to be considered plural. Setting <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|no_comma=1 turns this behavior off.
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|any_comma= – By default, commas (or semicolons) that are adjacent to digits are singular. Setting <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|any_comma=1 turns this behavior off.
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|no_and= – By default, "and" causes a string to be plural. Setting <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|no_and=1 turns this behavior off.
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|parse_links= – By default, Wikilinks are considered to be unparseable (singular) objects. Setting <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|parse_links=1 will allow the parser to read the contents of the Wikilinks and determine whether that makes the string plural.
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|parse_number= – Setting <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|parse_number=1 will cause the first integer in the string to determine plurality.

Additional parameters:

• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|likely= – The template makes a decision whether a string is a "likely plural" or a full "plural". The <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|likely= argument will be the output if the template determines that the string is only "likely plural". If <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|likely= is not given, "likely plural" and "plural" are treated identically.
• <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline style="display: none;" />|link= – If the Wikilink is provided, the returned value will use that as a link, and the output will be the link's display text.
