Parameters

This template can take various parameters, both numbered and named. See m:Help:Template for help with templates and parameters in general.

|1=
Specifies the gender and all other properties necessary to fully decline the word. The format is identical to {{is-ndecl}}; see there, and examples below.
|dim=
Specifies the diminutive form(s) of the noun.
|f=, |m=
Specifies the equivalent noun of the other gender, for words which differ depending on the natural gender of the referent. These are used especially with nouns denoting professions.
|nolinkhead=1
Don't autolink individual words in multiword expressions.
|head=, |head2=, ...
Explicitly specify the head(s). Only needed in multiword expressions when the default autolinking doesn't work right, and even then rarely needed; prefer the angle-bracket syntax with explicit links in |1=.
