Template:en-proper noun/documentation

	Documentation for Template:en-proper noun.
	This page contains usage information, categories, interwiki links and other content describing the template.

This is the standard inflection template for English proper nouns.

This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.

If the term has countable senses, the template can indicate whether the term is sometimes or always countable:

{{en-proper noun|s}}
{{en-proper noun|s|-}}
{{en-proper noun|~|es}}
{{en-proper noun|~|...}}

If the term is plural-only (plurale tantum): indicate as follows:

{{en-proper noun|p}}

If the proper noun is uncountable, no parameters are necessary.

If the proper noun is countable and forms its plural by adding -s or -es), specify that suffix; e.g., on "Alex":

{{en-proper noun|es}}

Alex (plural Alexes)

If the noun has an irregular plural, specify it; e.g., on "Superman":

{{en-proper noun|Supermen}}

Superman (plural Supermen)

If the proper noun is both countable and uncountable, depending on use, use "~" followed by the plural parameter; e.g., on "America":

{{en-proper noun|~|s}}

America (countable and uncountable; plural Americas)

If the proper noun is has multiple plural forms, use additional positional parameters; e.g., on "Cathy":

{{en-proper noun|Cathys|Cathies}}

Cathy (plural Cathys or Cathies)

This template works exactly like {{en-noun}} except for defaulting to having no plural (i.e. uncountable) and adding the term to Category:English proper nouns instead of Category:English nouns. All of the options documented for {{en-noun}} also apply to {{en-proper noun}}. See {{en-noun}} for more information.
