'''Template:Detect singular''' is used to detect possible lists and is a useful tool for infoboxes, where the label may be singular (e.g., "Nickname:") but the data may be a list.

== Usage ==
* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|value}}

Returns {{strong|1}} if not a list, {{strong|nil}} if a possible list.

== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! scope="col" | Parameter
! scope="col" | Description
|-
! scope="row" | <code>1</code>
| Required. The data to search for a list.
|-
! scope="row" | <code>no_comma</code>
| Optional. Set {{para|no_comma}} to any value if commas should be ignored. This should be used for date input.
|-
! scope="row" | <code>bullets</code>
| Optional. Set {{para|bullets}} to any value if bullets (*) should be treated as plural input.
|}

== Examples ==

* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Mack the Knife}} → {{Detect singular|Mack the Knife}}

* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|May 4, 2020|no_comma{{=}}yes}} → {{Detect singular|May 4, 2020|no_comma=yes}}

* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|Mack the Knife, Joe}} → {{Detect singular|Mack the Knife, Joe}}

* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|{{tlx|hlist|first|second|third}}}} → {{Detect singular|{{hlist|first|second|third}}}}

* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|*one *two *three|bullets{{=}}yes}} → {{Detect singular|*one *two *three|bullets=yes}}

It is not foolproof, however:

* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|[[Charles, Prince of Wales]]}} → {{Detect singular|[[Charles, Prince of Wales]]}}

* {{tlx|{{BASEPAGENAME}}|[[Dave Nellist]]}} → {{Detect singular|[[Dave Nellist]]}}
