Template:oc-proper noun

oc-proper noun ?


This template is designed for the lemma of all Occitan proper nouns.

Usage edit

This template should be placed in all Occitan proper noun sections, immediately following the ===Proper noun=== section header. It provides the inflection line for the entry. The template also automatically categorizes the entry in Category:Occitan proper nouns.

As with other Wiktionary inflection templates, please do not use subst:.

Parameters edit

This template requires one unnamed parameter specifying the gender. All proper nouns should have this unnamed parameter. Compound nouns may require a named parameter in addition to the unnamed one.

If in doubt abut the gender only, omit the unnamed parameter. When parameter {{{1}}} is omitted, the entry is added to Category:Occitan nouns lacking gender. Someone else will then add the necessary parameters.

Unnamed parameter edit

For all proper nouns, include the following unnamed parameter:

{{{1}}} - gender of the noun; accepted values are m, f, c, and mf [1]

Simple example : Eslovènia (Slovenia) :

{{ oc-proper noun | f }}
Eslovènia f

Notes :

[1] The values c and mf are equivalent, and are used for nouns that are grammatically both masculine and feminine.

Named parameter edit

Most proper nouns do not require this parameter. Compound nouns may require a named parameter, as follows:

{{{head}}} - replaces the initial headword form; may be used to link components of a compound noun

Examples edit

  1. Simple noun - França (France) :
    {{ oc-proper noun | f }}
    França f
    Simple situation with only the unnamed parameter included.
  2. Compound noun - Copa del Mond (World Cup) :
    {{ oc-proper noun | f | head=[[copa|Copa]] [[del]] [[mond|Mond]] }}
    Copa del Mond f
    The named parameter {{{head}}} specifies the headword form. If desired, the component words may be linked directly to the Occitan language section of their respective entries, like this:
    {{ oc-proper noun | f | head=[[copa#Occitan|Copa]] [[del#Occitan|del]] [[mond#Occitan|Mond]] }}
    Copa del Mond f
