Two plurals for the same word?

What if there's an Italian noun that has two or more plurals, such as orgia? - Lo Ximiendo 21:14, 11 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Change to template format

The format of this template's positional parameters is currently being changed. When the conversion process has been completed the documentation page will be changed accordingly. The new format will be {{it-noun|g|pl}} where g is the gender and pl is the plural form. This format may be used as from now. SemperBlotto (talk) 21:18, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

The new parameter format is already valid actually, and the documentation page was already updated. —CodeCat 21:21, 14 September 2013 (UTC)Reply

    • -go => -ghi (lago => laghi)
    • -ologo => -ologi (filologo => filologi)
    • -io => -i (if the stress is elsewhere - negozio => negozi)
    • -io => -ii (if stressed on the "i" of -io - zio => zii)
    • -a => -i (poeta => poeti)
    • -ga => -ghi (collega => colleghi)

  • Invariant nouns
    • The plural is the same as the singular if
      • the singular ends in a consonant (camion)
      • the singular ends in an accented vowel (caffè)
      • the singular ends in -i (crisi)
      • the singular ends in -ie (serie)
      • the singular is a single syllable (re)
      • it is a surname (Costa)
      • it is an abbreviation of a longer word (radio (of radiotelefonia))

mpl and fpl

Module:parameters has brought to light some uses of mpl and fpl parameters. I removed them in order to be consistent with other similar entries (they never worked as intended, anyway), but it might be worth considering whether adding those parameters might be a good idea. I don't work on Italian entries, so I'll leave that to others to decide. I'm not sure whether I should have posted this here or at module:it-head- feel free to move this there. Thanks!

Uncountable nouns and categorization

Could someone edit the template to make possible to display uncountable nouns and to automatically categorize nouns into Category:Italian countable nouns and Category:Italian uncountable nouns? Thanks ;) (parla con me) 09:45, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Alright, I edited the module and it seems categorization works, now how can "~" not be displayed? (parla con me) 10:04, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply

Pejoratives, Diminutives and Augmentatives

The template's documentation has yet to explain the parameters for pejorative (pej), diminutive (dim) and augmentative (aug) forms of nouns. -- Apisite (talk) 02:55, 9 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
