This is the template to use for the headword of all Icelandic proper nouns. This template automatically adds pages to Category:Icelandic proper nouns, as well as gender-specific categories such as Category:Icelandic feminine nouns. In general, this template works identically to {{is-noun}}, but for proper nouns.

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

===Noun===

# [[Iceland]]

Parameters

This template can take various parameters, both numbered and named. See m:Help:Template for help with templates and parameters in general.

|1=
Specifies the gender and all other properties necessary to fully decline the noun. The format is identical to {{is-ndecl}}; see there, and examples below.
|dim=
Specifies the diminutive form(s) of the noun.
|f=, |m=
Specifies the equivalent noun of the other gender, for terms which differ depending on the natural gender of the referent. These are used especially with nouns denoting professions.
|nolinkhead=1
Don't autolink individual words in multiword expressions.
|head=, |head2=, ...
Explicitly specify the head(s). Only needed in multiword expressions when the default autolinking doesn't work right, and even then rarely needed; prefer the angle-bracket syntax with explicit links in |1=.
