Template:grc-decl/documentation

This template is intended to be very simple to use. In most cases, it takes two obligatory arguments, the nominative and genitive singular forms of the noun to be declined. Module:grc-decl figures out what declension they belong to, and generates a table of forms.

Regular nouns

 * 1
 * Nominative singular.


 * 2
 * Genitive singular.

Irregular or indeclinable nouns

 * 1
 * A flag  or   to indicate that the noun is indeclinable or that its declension is irregular.


 * 2
 * 1) If the noun is indeclinable, the form used for all grammatical cases.
 * 2) If the noun is irregular, the nominative singular.

Named parameters

 * form
 * Takes up to three different sets of values:
 * the gender, to add the correct forms of the definite article: one of,  , or  . Use   for words such as  that can be either masculine or feminine, or   to remove articles altogether. Gender is automatically determined by the module for first- and second-declension nouns and some third-declension nouns, but is required otherwise.
 * the numbers shown, one or more of,  , or  , or  ,  , or  , for singular, dual, or plural.   is an alias of  , but is not needed, as it is the default for all nouns except  those in  and , which are only declined in the singular. Note that regardless of the number(s) of the noun, the nominative and genitive must be in the singular.
 * whether to show only the contracted or uncontracted tables of stems in . If  is passed as an argument, only the uncontracted table is shown; if   is passed, only the contracted table is shown; if neither is passed then both tables will be shown.
 * The order of the arguments to form does not matter; arguments such as,  ,   are all acceptable. The hyphens are unnecessary, but recommended for clarity.


 * dial
 * Determines which dialect's forms will be shown. The default is  (Attic). A code  or a dialect name  can be used, as long as it is found in Module:grc:Dialects. The dialect name will be shown in parentheses in the title of the table.
 * Parameter values containing tildes or slashes  are no longer supported. Any template with these values will default to Attic (as long as the parameter does not contain   and  ).
 * Most dialectal forms are added in Module:grc-decl/decl/data, but a few paradigms are divergent enough to be given in Module:grc-decl/decl/staticdata/paradigms. Not all dialects have forms assigned to them. To find out if a dialect does, search for the dialect code in Module:grc-decl/decl/data (if you can decrypt the Lua code).


 * α
 * Indicates vocative singular in rather than, for first-declension masculine nouns in , such as , vocative . This parameter is not needed for nouns in , whose vocative always ends in.


 * Indicates that a noun has no vocative.
 * Indicates that a noun has no vocative.


 * NS, GD, DP, ...
 * used to supply specific irregular forms (the given examples are the nominative singular, genitive dual, and dative plural, respectively). If both contracted and uncontracted tables are shown, 1 and 2 may be appended to the end (VS1, AP2, etc.) to differentiate between tables (if no number is appended the irregular form will be shown for both tables.)


 * titleapp
 * which adds text to the end of the titlebar. This overrides a titleapp automatically generated by dial.


 * title
 * overrides the entire title.


 * notes
 * adds supplementary text to be displayed below the footnotes.
