This template offers a multiple choice for defining the gender category of a (character) article. It can also automatically categorize a page under that category.

Parameters

• The selected gender from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
  1. male
  2. female
  3. any other (non)empty value defaults to: unknown
• nocat: Whether or not to suppress categorization under the chosen category (defaults to false, which means auto categorization).

Note: more category values should be discussed on the discussion page.

Syntax

{{gender|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{gender|male}}

Male ^{[list all]}

Or this:

{{gender|female}}

Female ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{gender|mALE}}

Male ^{[list all]}

You may leave the "gender" undefined (which would raise the Characters of unknown gender maintenance task) by not specifying any valid value, so these all have the same result:

{{gender}}
{{gender|}}
{{gender|both}}
{{gender|uncle}}
{{gender|yellow}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

The nocat parameter may be used to suppress automatic categorization like this (any value will do):

{{gender|male|nocat=true}}

This would render the same result as the first example above, but would not automatically categorize under Category:Male Characters. This feature works both on valid values and the maintenance task mentioned above.
