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
