== Template:Enum, sandboxed version is better ==

The sandboxed version of the {{tlx|enum}} template, which invokes this, works with the <code>comma=</code> parameter properly; the version in main doesn't. (See the testcases.) Can we move it over? I write here rather than there as I don't think that gets much talk. [[User:SimonTrew|Si Trew]] ([[User talk:SimonTrew|talk]]) 09:30, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

== Request to add parameter to Module:Separated entries==
{{FPER|Module:Separated entries|answered=yes}}

Please copy [[Module:Separated entries/sandbox]] to [[Module:Separated entries]]. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AComparePages&page1=Module%3ASeparated+entries&page2=Module%3ASeparated+entries%2Fsandbox diff].

'''Effect of change:''' The edit does not change the default behavior of the module, but adds a new parameter {{para|dataPlural}}. If dataPlural is non-empty, and either {{para|separator}} or {{para|conjunction}} are set, then the module will emit an empty span with display:none. That span has an attribute "data-plural" which is set to 0 if the module produces only one entry, and 1 if the module produces more than one entry. See [[Module talk:Separated entries/testcases|the module testcases]] to see the effect of the change.

'''Reasoning behind change:''' Several infoboxes (e.g., {{tl|Infobox settlement}}, {{tl|Infobox person}}) use {{tl|Pluralize from text}} to change the labels of a field depending on the data. For example,
:<code><nowiki>{{Pluralize from text|{{{region|}}}|singular=Region|likely=Region(s)|plural=Regions}}</nowiki></code>
will analyze {{para|region}} and produce a label depending on whether {{para|region}} is clearly singular, clearly plural, or probably plural. {{tl|Pluralize from text}} uses the logic in [[Module:Detect singular]].

Unfortunately, [[Module:Detect singular]] cannot tell the difference between {{para|region|Bosnia and Herzegovina}} and {{para|region|<nowiki>{{enum|California|Nevada}}</nowiki>}}, so the above code will emit "Region(s)" for both cases. Anyone can signal [[Module:Detect singular]] that its input is singular or plural, via the empty span described above (implemented for users at {{tl|force singular}} and {{tl|force plural}}). 

The proposed edit will allow {{tl|Enum}} to signal to [[Module:Detect singular]] that, e.g., {{tlx|enum|Bosnia and Herzegovina}} produces a single entry while {{tlx|enum|California|Nevada}} produces two entries (see [[Template:Enum/sandbox]] for proposed change there). The proposed edit will increase the precision of [[Module:Detect singular]] hence make infoboxes cleaner with fewer labels that look like "Region(s)".

== Serial comma ==

<s>Can an option to use a serial comma be added to [[Module:Separated entries]]? So that passing {{para|serial|y}} to any wrapper templates will enable this? (current usages require manually adding white space also so is sub-par). @[[User:Sdkb|User:Sdkb]] seems to want this option.

:Please link to the discussions you reference when putting words in my mouth. [[Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2025 December 5#Template:List with serial comma]] in this case. <span style="border:3px outset;border-radius:8pt 0;padding:1px 5px;background:linear-gradient(6rad,#86c,#2b9)">[[User:Sdkb|<span style="color:#FFF;text-decoration:inherit;font:1em Lucida Sans">Sdkb</span>]]</span> <sup>[[User talk:Sdkb|'''talk''']]</sup> 17:20, 10 December 2025 (UTC)
