Revision as of 11:34, 13 December 2012

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

1. The selected gender from the following values (no parameter name and values are case insensitive):
   • male
   • female
   • 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

{{Infobox Character/gender|value}}

Examples

Any of the above values may be used like this:

{{Infobox Character/gender|male}}
{{Infobox Character/gender|female}}

Male ^{[list all]}

Female ^{[list all]}

The case of the value is not important:

{{Infobox Character/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:

{{Infobox Character/gender}}
{{Infobox Character/gender|}}
{{Infobox Character/gender|both}}
{{Infobox Character/gender|uncle}}
{{Infobox Character/gender|yellow}}

unknown ^{[list all]}

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

{{Infobox Character/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.
