Template:Pluralize from text
From The Lands Of Liberos Project
This template uses Lua: |
Usage
{{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
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.
