[edit] [ ] Template documentation
This template allows easy formatting of statements of the form "# thing(s)", with correct use of plurals. It uses the "plural" magic word, so ideally it should work with minimal modification for other language.
Syntax
- {{plural|number|name}}
- {{plural|number|singular name|plural name}}
Examples
For most English nouns, the plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the singular form. If that is the case, only one "name" parameter is required:
{{plural|0|page}}
returns "0 pages"{{plural|1|page}}
returns "1 page"{{plural|2|page}}
returns "2 pages"
For plurals that require adding "es", or more unusual forms, the singular and plural forms must be specified explicitly:
{{plural|0|ox|oxen}}
returns "0 oxen"{{plural|1|ox|oxen}}
returns "1 ox"{{plural|2|ox|oxen}}
returns "2 oxen"
Notes
- While
{{plural|#|sheep|sheep}}
is valid, it is also fairly pointless.
