Template:Pronoun

This template can be used to display the chosen pronouns (in English only) of any editor/user of this wiki. It can't be used for someone without an account here. Also note that the gender options in MediaWiki are epicene/fem./masc., and so "it", "one", and neopronouns are unavailable (more could be added but many, many system strings would need updating). Actually I think re-implementing this with metatemplate tricks, which would allow this to be used for people without an account, would also allow for arbitrary sets of pronouns. --yoshi

Usage: {{p|Username|case}}, where Username is a username without the "User:" prefix (case-sensitive! check on Special:ListUsers), and case is one of the below keywords. Consult the English Wikipedia for a refresher on English pronouns.

• they for the subjective case (results in "he", "she", or "they")
  • equivalents: nominative, subject, subjective, sub, and he/she
  • they're for -is/-are contraction (results in "he's", "she's", or "they're")
  • they've for -has/-have contraction (results in "he's", "she's", or "they've")
  • they'll for -will contraction (results in "he'll", "she'll", or "they'll")
  • they'd for -would contraction (results in "he'd", "she'd", or "they'd")
• them for the objective case (results in "him", "her", or "them")
  • equivalents: accusative, object, oblique, objective, dative, prepositional, obj, him/her, and him
• their for the possessive determiner (results in "his", "her", or "their")
  • equivalents: genitive, possessive, pos, his/her, and his
• theirs for the possessive pronoun (results in "his", "hers", or "theirs")
  • equivalents: genitive pronoun, possessive pronoun, poss, his/hers, and hers
• themself for the reflexive case (results in "himself", "herself", or "themself")
  • equivalents: reflexive2, intensive2, himself/herself2
  • themselves for the reflexive case with the alternate epicene form (results in "himself", "herself", or "themselves")
    • equivalents: reflexive, intensive, and himself/herself

If omitted, the second parameter defaults to they, i.e. the subjective case.

Examples:

• {{p|DummyAccM|them}} ⟶ him
• {{p|DummyAccF|themself}} ⟶ herself
• {{p|DummyAccNB|their}} ⟶ their
• {{p|DummyAccM|they}} ⟶ he
• {{p|DummyAccF|theirs}} ⟶ hers
• {{p|DummyAccNB}} ⟶ they

The word can be capitalised with the {{ucfirst:}} magic word: {{ucfirst:{{p|DummyAccF}}}} ⟶ She

Based on the English Wikipedia's {{gender}}.
