This template allows easy formatting of statements of the form "# thing(s)", with correct use of plurals. It uses the [[mw:Help:Magic words#Language-dependent word conversions|"plural" magic word]], so it should work in other languages with minimal modification.

==Usage==
With a space between the number and name (using numeric character reference <code>&#32;</code>):
* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>plural|''number''|''name''}}
* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>plural|''number''|''singular name''|''plural name''}}

With a non-breaking space between the number and name (using character entity reference <code>&nbsp;</code>):
* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>plural|''number''|''name''|nb=yes}}
* <nowiki>{{</nowiki>plural|''number''|''singular name''|''plural name''|nb=yes}}

==Examples==
For most English nouns, the plural is formed by adding "s" to the end of the singular form. If that is the case, only one "name" parameter is required:
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|0|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|0|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|1|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|1|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|2|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|2|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-1|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-1|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-2|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-2|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|0.5|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|0.5|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|1.5|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|1.5|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-0.5|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-0.5|page}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-1.5|page}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-1.5|page}}"

For plurals that require adding "es", or more unusual forms, the singular and plural forms must be specified explicitly:
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|0|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|0|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|1|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|1|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|2|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|2|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-1|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-1|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-2|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-2|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|0.5|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|0.5|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|1.5|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|1.5|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-0.5|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-0.5|ox|oxen}}"
* <code><nowiki>{{plural|-1.5|ox|oxen}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural|-1.5|ox|oxen}}"

With parameter {{para|nb}}:
* <code><nowiki><div style="width:5em">{{plural|2|sesquipedalian|</nowiki>'''nb=yes'''<nowiki>}}</div></nowiki></code> returns: <div style="width: 5em;">{{plural|2|sesquipedalian|nb=yes}}</div>
* <code><nowiki><div style="width:5em">{{plural|2|sesquipedalian|</nowiki>'''nb=no'''<nowiki>}}</div></nowiki></code> returns: <div style="width: 5em;">{{plural|2|sesquipedalian|nb=no}}</div>

===Notes===
* While <code><nowiki>{{plural|#|sheep|sheep}}</nowiki></code> is valid, it is also fairly pointless.
* The template does not handle missing parameters 1 or 2: <code><nowiki>{{plural}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural}}"
* The template does not handle empty parameters 1 or 2: <code><nowiki>{{plural||}}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural||}}"
* The template does not remove leading or trailing spaces in parameters 1 or 2: <code><nowiki>{{plural | 2 | page }}</nowiki></code> returns "{{plural | 2 | page }}"
