Module:Detect singular

Template:Detect singular is used to detect possible lists and is a useful tool for infoboxes, where the label may be singular (e.g., "Nickname:") but the data may be a list.

Usage

{{Detect singular|value}}

Returns 1 if not a list, nil if a possible list.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`1`	Required. The data to search for a list.

Options

There are four named arguments that control the pluralization:

|no_comma= By default, commas (or semi-colons) will cause the text string to be considered plural. Setting |no_comma=1 turns this behavior off.
|any_comma= By default, commas (or semi-colons) 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.

Overrides

To force a particular result, place ފަންވަތް:T or ފަންވަތް:T within the text.
