• |Usernameor|1=Username – The username without the User: prefix
• |2= or the second unnamed parameter – Optional parameter for giving the case of the pronoun. Possible values are listed below, and include linguistic terms (and their abbreviations) and "what I want it to say" versions:
  • nominative, subject, subjective, sub, he/she, or they – Returns "he", "she" or "they". This is the default value of the case parameter.
  • accusative, object, oblique, objective, dative, prepositional, obj, him/her, him, or them – Returns "him", "her", or "them".
  • genitive, possessive, pos, his/her, his, or their – Returns "his", "her" or "their".
  • genitive pronoun, possessive pronoun, poss, his/hers, hers, or theirs – Returns "his", "hers" or "theirs".
  • reflexive, intensive, himself/herself, or themselves – Returns "himself", "herself" or "themselves".
  • reflexive2, intensive2, himself/herself2, or themself – Returns "himself", "herself" or "themself" (preferred by The Chicago Manual of Style and some other sources on singular they).

• {{gender|ExampleMale}} would return he
• {{gender|ExampleFemale}} would return she
• {{gender|ExampleNeutral}} would return they
• {{gender|ExampleMale|reflexive}} would return himself
• {{gender|ExampleNeutral|accusative}} would return them
