Template:The Working Man's Barnstar/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a documentation subpage for Template:The Working Man's Barnstar (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used to give out the Working Man's Barnstar on the English-language Wikipedia. Due to recent protests by a number of Wikipedians that the award should be gender neutral, an extra option is now available to allow users to specify a gender for the recipient of the award.

[edit] Usage

{{subst:The Working Man's Barnstar|message ~~~~|gender}}

For the gender option, there are two optional paramaters:

w = Woman's
n = Wikipedian's

If none of these parameters are supplied, or no parameter is present, Man's is the default gender given, in order to comply with previous versions of this template.
