Template:oc-proper noun/documentation

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

Usage

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

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

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

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

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
