Template:Pronoun: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:03, 19 October 2023

This template displays 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).

Usage: {{p|Username|case}}, where Username is a username without the "User:" prefix, 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
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 reflective 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|ExampleMale|them}} would result in "him"
{{p|ExampleFemale|themself}} would result in "herself"
{{p|ExampleNB|their}} would result in "their"
{{p|ExampleMale|they}} would result in "he"
{{p|ExampleFemale|theirs}} would result in "hers"
{{p|ExampleNB}} would result in "they"
