{{Pluralize from text}} is used to detect if a text value is a plural list or not. Its intended usage is for infobox parameters, where the label might need to change from a singular version to a plural version.
For example, if an infobox uses a|nickname= parameter, the label might change fromNickname toNicknames if the text value has more than one nickname.
The output of the template can be forced by including{{force singular}} or{{force plural}} in the generic parameter.
{{Pluralize from text|text|singular=singular output|likely=likely plural output|plural=plural output|link=wikilink}}{{Pluralize from text|text|plural argument|singular output|plural output|wikilink}}There are five named parameters that control the pluralization:
|no_comma= – By default,commas (orsemicolons) will cause the text string to be considered plural. Setting|no_comma=1 turns this behavior off.|any_comma= – By default, commas (or semicolons) that are adjacent to digits are singular. Setting|any_comma=1 turns this behavior off.|no_and= – By default, "and" causes a string to be plural. Setting|no_and=1 turns this behavior off.|parse_links= – By default, Wikilinks are considered to be unparseable (singular) objects. Setting|parse_links=1 will allow the parser to read the contents of the Wikilinks and determine whether that makes the string plural.|parse_number= – Setting|parse_number=1 will cause the first integer in the string to determine plurality.Additional parameters:
|likely= – The template makes a decision whether a string is a "likely plural" or a full "plural". The|likely= argument will be the output if the template determines that the string is only "likely plural". If|likely= is not given, "likely plural" and "plural" are treated identically.|link= – If the Wikilink is provided, the returned value will use that as a link, and the output will be the link's display text.TemplateData for Pluralize from text
