Usage[edit]
This template can be used to properly localise units.
The template has two parameters:
{{Plural|"value"|"text"|link=}}
- The first parameter can be any value, usually in form of an expression. This parameter is optional. When it i omitted the template just return the plural form of the second parameter.
- The second parameter can be any text including links and templates. It should end with the unit of the value as this template simply adds an "s" at the end of the text, if the value isn't 1.
- The
link=parameter can be set to any value, if the second parameter should be turned into a link.
Examples[edit]
{{Plural|1|component}} produces: 1 component
{{Plural|2|component}} produces: 2 components
{{Plural|1/3 round 2|component}} produces: 0.33 components
