Usage edit

This template may be used as an editnotice to alert editors that the subject of the article goes by certain gender pronouns. It is intended for biographies of transgender or non-binary people. See MOS:GENDERID for the relevant guidelines.

The template directs users to the article's talk page to gain consensus rather than pronoun-warring, in the hope that this will divert some amount of mainspace disruption. If there is a concern that this will do more harm than good, set the talk-link parameter to no to suppress that sentence.

Examples edit

{{pronoun notice
 |she/her
 |source = http://www.latimes.com/article_title
}}

{{pronoun notice
 |they/them or he/him
 |consistency=they/them
 |source = http://twitter.com/tweet
 |discussion = Talk:Example#Is this tweet a reliable source for pronouns?
 |talk-link = no <!-- frequent talkpage trolling -->
}}

Parameters edit

The first parameter in this table is required and the template will fail without it. All the other parameters are optional.

Parameter(s)	Values	Notes
First positional parameter (optionally `\|1=`)	The pronoun or pronouns that the subject goes by	For example, "they/them"
Second positional parameter (optionally `\|2=`) `\|source=`	A URL for a source showing usage or preference by the subject
`\|discussion=`	A link to a discussion among editors concluding that these are the correct pronouns.	Just the link, not surrounding square brackets or pipe. Useful especially for when no one crystal-clear source exists for the pronouns being used, but rather it has been inferred by editors.
`\|deceased=`	`yes` `no` (default)	If set to `yes`, will refer to the subject in the past tense.
`\|consistency=`	A single set of pronouns used consistently in the article.	For cases where a subject takes multiple sets of pronouns, but an editoral decision has been made to use one in particular.
`\|talk-link=`	`yes` (default) `no`	If set to `no`, suppresses the sentence "Please do not change these pronouns without a consensus on the talk page."
