Template:Detect singular is used to detect possible lists and is a useful tool for infoboxes, where the label may be singular (e.g., "Nickname:") but the data may be a list.
Usage
{{Detect singular|value}}
Returns 1 if not a list, nil if a possible list.
Parameters
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
1
|
Required. The data to search for a list. |
Options
There are five 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=1turns this behavior off.|any_comma=By default, commas (or semi-colons) that are adjacent to digits are singular. Setting|any_comma=1turns this behavior off.|no_and=By default, "and" causes a string to be plural. Setting|no_and=1turns this behavior off.|parse_links=By default, wikilinks are considered to be unparseable (singular) objects. Setting|parse_links=1will allow the parser to read the contents of the wikilinks and determine whether that makes the string plural.|parse_number=. Setting|parse_number=1will cause the first integer in the string to determine plurality.
