Template documentation

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

{{Plural|2|component|link=true}} produces: 2 components

{{Plural||component}} produces: components

Special cases (evaluated in this order)[edit]

Bracket names[edit]

{{Plural|2|Animalist slab (broad)}} produces: 2 Animalist slabs (broad) (the plural is defined by the last word before the first "(" in the string)

Uncountable things[edit]

{{Plural|2|gold}} produces: 2 gold (there is a hardcoded list of uncountable things)

Depending on last two letters[edit]

{{Plural|2|day}} produces: 2 days (everything ending in "-ay")

{{Plural|2|sash}} produces: 2 sashes (everything ending in "-ch", "-sh" or "-ss")

{{Plural|2|knife}} produces: 2 knives (everything ending in "-fe")

{{Plural|2|gladius}} produces: 2 gladii (everything ending in "-us")

Depending on last letter[edit]
