Modul:uk-headword/doc

This module is used for all Ukrainian headword-line templates. It provides a basic functionality common to all of them, but some of the templates have specific additional functionality to show genders or inflected forms.

Accented headword

All Ukrainian headword-line templates use the first parameter to provide the headword, with accented vowels where present. For example:

{{uk-noun|соба́ка|m-an}}

The parameter supports all the special features that the |head= parameter on {{head}} does. So you can also use this parameter to link to individual words of a multi-word term. These words can be linked with accents still in place; the module will remove them from the page name before creating a link, just like {{l}} does. If you need to specify accents in multiple alternative ways, use |head2=, |head3= and so on.

All Ukrainian words that have more than one syllable are expected to have accents specified. The module will check the parameter for the presence of accents, and categorize the entry in Category:Ukrainian terms needing accents if none are found. Some words like prepositions really have no inherent accent of their own. For such words, give - as the first parameter. This tells the module that you are sure that the word should not have accents, so that it will not check for them. If you don't know where to place the accents, you can leave the parameter empty, or just write the page name without accents.
