Template:cy-proper noun/documentation
This template is designed for the lemma of all Welsh proper nouns.
Usage
[edit]Only use this template for the proper noun's lemma entry. For non-lemma forms (mutated forms), use {{cy-proper noun-form}}
.
This template should be placed in Welsh proper noun sections, immediately following the ===Proper noun=== section header. It provides the inflection line for the entry. The template also automatically categorizes the entry in Category:Welsh proper nouns.
As with other Wiktionary inflection templates, please do not use subst:
.
Parameters
[edit]This template requires one unnamed parameter specifying the gender. All proper nouns should have this unnamed parameter. Compound nouns may require a named parameter in addition to the unnamed one.
If in doubt abut the gender only, omit the unnamed parameter. When parameter |1=
is omitted, the entry is added to Category:Welsh nouns lacking gender. Someone else will then add the necessary parameters.
Unnamed parameter
[edit]For all proper nouns, include the following unnamed parameter:
|1=
- gender of the noun; accepted values are m, f, c, and mf [1]
Simple example : Cymru (“Wales”) :
{{cy-proper noun|f}}
- Cymru f
- ^ The values c and mf are equivalent, and are used for nouns that are grammatically both masculine and feminine.
Named parameters
[edit]Most proper nouns do not require this parameter. Compound nouns may require a named parameter, as follows:
|head=
- replaces the initial headword form; may be used to link components of a compound noun where the capitalization and/or mutation is different from the lemma form. The default is {{PAGENAME}}|sort=
, the catkey for Category:Welsh proper nouns. The default is {{PAGENAME}}
Examples
[edit]- Simple noun - Lloegr (“England”) :
{{cy-proper noun|f}}
- Lloegr f
- Simple situation with only the unnamed parameter included.
- Compound noun - Ynys Môn (“Anglesey”) :
