Usage

{{pronoun|<username>|<type [optional]>}}

Refers to the user specified with a gender-appropriate pronoun based on the value set in their preferences. Note that many users have not specified a gender.

|1= or first unnamed parameter: Name of the user in question, without the "User:" prefix.
|2= or second unnamed parameter: Type of pronoun. Optional, defaults to "sub".
|or= using any value: Joins both pronouns with an "or" conjunction. Optional, defaults to use of singular they.

sub for subjective (he, she, if |or= is used, he or she, if not, they)
obj for objective (him, her, if |or= is used, him or her, if not, them)
pos for possessive (his, her, if |or= is used, his or her, if not, their)
poss for following possessive (his, hers, if |or= is used, his or hers, if not, theirs)
/ for standard rendering of personal pronouns on mention (he/him, she/her, they/them)
// for the same, with an added possessive (he/him/his, she/her/hers, they/them/theirs)
