Something is wrong with this template. Even though the gender has been specified where the template is in use, it still adds the Category:Portuguese nouns lacking gender (see escroto). —Stephen 14:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
This badly needs documentation. How do you specify feminine forms, if not using f=. Mglovesfun (talk) 11:35, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
If this is to replace {{pt-noun-m}}, {{pt-noun-f}} and {{pt-noun-mf}} it needs to be more like say, {{fr-noun}}. Right now it's not possible to specify other gender forms such as feminine forms for masculine nouns, and vice-versa. I'm pretty sure I could do this quite easily without losing any data (I've done it before) - does anyone object, either to a specific part of this proposal, all the whole thing?

{{pt-noun/new}} which does exactly this. Will make the switch tomorrow if not objected to. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:19, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
{{pt-noun|m}} (or f or mf) without an automatic plural a it avoids incorrect plurals. And -es is a common plural ending as well, just like it is in Spanish. --Mglovesfun (talk) 12:11, 26 May 2011 (UTC)It would be useful to add something to the code to find missing noun forms. Something similar is in place at Template:es-noun, and missing forms are categorised at Category:Spanish nouns with missing plurals and Category:Missing Spanish noun forms. --Type56op9 (talk) 15:56, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
Hi! I came across the entry neta and I've noticed this template doesn't list the masculine form. Most of the time, there's no problem, since the masculine form is the lemma, but in this case, the lemma is the feminine form and the masculine one the derivation. It just feels weird that the word neto is nowhere in the entry. - Sarilho1 (talk) 19:58, 2 August 2019 (UTC)
{{pt-noun|f|m=trisneto}} (''masculine'' '''{{l|pt|trisneto}}''', ''masculine plural'' '''{{l|pt|trisnetos}}''') which looks pretty awkward to me, especially when compared with trisneto which has {{pt-noun|m|f=trisneta|fpl=trisnetas}} Personally, I think |m= and |mpl= should be parameters, as with {{it-noun}}. 158.106.52.10 20:13, 1 November 2021 (UTC)@Sarilho1 (Notifying Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV, Daniel Carrero, Jberkel, Svjatysberega, Cpt.Guapo, Munmula, Koavf): I have redone this template, similarly to adjectives. Please pay attention to the new parameter structure, thanks! It should be much easier to use than before (although the differences are less dramatic t han for adjectives).

{{pt-noun}} by |g=m|g2=f and |g=mf. I made the change because the new system is how Module:gender and number (and hence several languages) works. See Category:Masculine and feminine nouns by sense by language. If you're concerned about the length of the identifier mfbysense, we could potentially shorten it although I'd be a bit concerned that it would become obscure; as it is it may not be obvious at first what "by sense" means. (Sometimes the terms epicene or common gender are used to refer to mfbysense nouns but I've avoided them because each of them have two conflicting definitions; in fact we already have a "common" gender in Module:gender and number that uses the definition that's appropriate to Dutch and Danish rather than to Portuguese and Latin.)

|g=m|g2=f different from |g=mf, making the later "by sense" by default, but your argument about clarity is reasonable and I see that you've implemented the identifier in other languages already so I think that it should be preferable to keep it in this, more standardized, way. - Sarilho1 (talk) 09:41, 13 September 2022 (UTC)
