Create the documentation subpage

New page

This is the documentation for [[Module:Head]], the headword-line renderer for the Yezur wiki's Dictionary. It is not called directly: [[Template:Head]] invokes it with <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:Head|head|code|pos|head=…|class=…}}</nowiki></code>, placed directly beneath a part-of-speech heading in an entry. The language name and the leading asterisk carried by reconstructed languages are read from the registry in [[Module:Languages]], which also backs <code><nowiki>{{l}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{m}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{d}}</nowiki></code>, so all four agree on how a language is named and written.

== Parameters ==

{| class="wikitable"
! Parameter !! Purpose
|-
| <code>1</code> || The language's registry code, such as <code>YAQ-HE</code> or <code>YBS-PJ</code>. Case is normalised to upper case before lookup. A code absent from the registry stands in for the language name in the category names, in upper case, and carries no asterisk.
|-
| <code>2</code> || The part of speech, normalised to lower case: <code>noun</code>, <code>verb</code>, <code>adjective</code>, <code>verb form</code> and so on. It supplies the category names and is not itself displayed.
|-
| <code>head</code> || The headword form. Defaults to the page name without its namespace prefix when omitted, which is the usual case; it is given explicitly where the page name and the citation form differ.
|-
| <code>class</code> || An inflection class from the table below. A class the language and part of speech do not define is ignored, and the headword renders as though none had been given.
|}

Surrounding whitespace is trimmed from all four. The remaining parameters of [[Template:Head]] — <code>gloss</code>, <code>register</code>, <code>etym_type</code>, <code>etym_source</code> and <code>notes</code> — never reach the module. They feed the <code>Lexemes</code> Cargo row, which the template files itself.

== Output ==

The module returns the headword in bold, preceded by <code>*</code> when the registry marks the language as reconstructed, then the note for a recognised inflection class, then the categories. A noun class shows its gender abbreviation and, where the class has one, an italic declension label; a verb class shows its conjugation label alone. So <code><nowiki>{{head|YAQ-HE|noun|class=F|head=αβισι}}</nowiki></code> gives '''αβισι''' f, and <code><nowiki>{{head|YAQ-HE|verb|class=IS}}</nowiki></code> gives the page name in bold followed by (''IS-class'').

== Inflection classes ==

Classes are defined in the module, by registry code and then by part of speech. Only the languages below have them; for every other language <code>class</code> has no effect.

{| class="wikitable"

|-
| <code>OO</code> || (''OO-class'') || Ancient Hertic OO-class verbs
|}

== Categories ==

Nothing is categorised when the language code is empty; the module then returns the bold headword alone.

With a code and a part of speech, the page is filed under ''<Language> <part of speech, pluralised>'' — ''Pjany adjectives'', ''Ancient Hertic nouns''. Plurals are formed in English: a final <code>y</code> not preceded by a vowel becomes <code>ies</code>, an ending in <code>s</code>, <code>x</code>, <code>z</code>, <code>ch</code> or <code>sh</code> takes <code>es</code>, and everything else takes <code>s</code>; <code>part of speech</code> is special-cased to ''parts of speech''.

A second category records lemma status, and is filed whether or not a part of speech is given. A part of speech whose name contains a space followed by <code>form</code>, such as <code>verb form</code>, files the page under ''<Language> non-lemma forms''; anything else, an omitted part of speech included, files it under ''<Language> lemmas''. A recognised inflection class adds the class category from the table above, alongside the plain part-of-speech category rather than instead of it.
