NBSP

In a text like this: "word g1 g2, g3" the first and the second spaces should be definitely NB, IMO. The third one should be breaking, however, as we have comma before it. --Z 23:46, 27 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Russian words with multiple genders

How do I add multiple genders, e.g. Russian судья́ (sudʹjá, judge)? It can be both masculine and feminine (animate). Comma or pipe separation doesn't work, m-an, f-an. --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 21:54, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

{{ru-noun}} has a g2= parameter. —CodeCat 21:55, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks! --Anatoli (обсудить/вклад) 21:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)Reply

Plural

Why is plural abbreviated to p rather than pl when passed as an argument? --Njardarlogar (talk) 11:29, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

It dates back to the time when both the gender codes and language codes were templates. {{pl}} was the code for Polish, so {{p}} had to be used for plural. —CodeCat 11:37, 11 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

Misnomer?

Just a note to mention that the gender template is definitely a misnomer for including stuff like number and verb stuff, but not for animacy. The older meaning of "gender" was the "noun category" sense and animate vs. inanimate is perhaps the oldest noun category distinction. The sense of "gender" meaning "sex" is a newer sense and masculine vs feminine genders are less ancient gender distinctions.

If it were ever to renamed something like "essential properties" or "major attributes" or "key annotations", in some abbreviated form would probably be best. — hippietrail (talk) 10:34, 14 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

singular

Is there a way for m-s, f-s, n-s (only singular for all genders)? As in some Greek nouns? I cannot find it. Thank you. sarri.greek (talk) 00:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Singular is normally assumed if nothing else is specified. Is there a reason that it needs to be explicitly given here? —Rua (mew) 11:29, 23 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Virile and nonvirile genders

Can someone add the virile and nonvirile genders to this module? The workarounds function, but they are not entirely accurate (e.g. utensylia, drzwi). İʟᴀᴡᴀ–Kᴀᴛᴀᴋᴀ (talk) (edits) 19:06, 23 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Invariant

Is there a way to specify an invariant form (that doesn't change with number and/or gender ? edit: figured it out.

can someone add transitivity?

The Algonquian languages have four different verb types, and it would be nice to be able to specify in the headword transitivity, i.e. something like (verb anim trans ) /mof.va.nes/ (talk) 16:58, 18 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Paucal

Please add "pauc(al)" for Fijian pronouns. kwami (talk) 08:43, 29 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

<abbr> for unabbreviated annotations

@Benwing2: Why in the table (“Display form”) unabbreviated annotations, e.g., “gender unspecified” (correctly) do not use <abbr> but the module adds <abbr> if it is not used (line 55)? J3133 (talk) 06:48, 11 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
