A technical request for "Used by" template

I was told to move the discussion here so here it is. "Localized versions of this template are not necessary." Well, they actually are needed, due to inflection of words in some languages. For Polish, "{{Used by|all}}" and "{{Used by|Soldier|etc.}}" sound fine, but "{{Used by|all-except|" needs translation switching, as it sounds very bad when names of classes are not inflected. I don't know about other languages, but some may require it too. For Polish, here's how it should look to be grammatically correct (only for "{{Used by|all-except|"):

Scout = Skauta
Soldier = Żołnierza
Pyro = Pyro
Demoman = Demomana
Heavy = Grubego
Enginner = Inżyniera
Medic = Medyka
Sniper = Snajpera
Spy = Szpiega

Can you provide some examples of the expected output? In this format:
Current output:    {{Used by|all-except|Pyro|Soldier}} generates [...]
Expected output: {{Used by|all-except|Pyro|Soldier}} should generate [...]

Sorry for the late response. I didn't receive any notification. Here's how it should look:
Current output:    {{Used by|all-except|Pyro|Soldier}} generates (Wszystkie klasy (oprócz Pyro i Żolnierz)
Expected output: {{Used by|all-except|Pyro|Soldier}} should generate (Wszystkie klasy (oprócz Pyro i Żolnierza)
Only Pyro remains unchanged. Every other class is changed as show in the first comment.

Does this look okay to you? Strings are stored here. — Tark 15:43, 2 December 2024 (UTC)
Yes it looks okay. How to use it (for example {{used by|all-except|Scout|Soldier}}) to make it work? User Denied signature.jpg Denied (Talk) 14:33, 9 December 2024 (UTC)

A technical request for "Used by" template 2

The {{used by}} template is not suitable for Russian at the moment. It lacks words that begin with a lowercase letter and word inflections.

Examples:

  • infobox-used-by-1
 ru       now: {{used by|Scout}}Разведчик Pictogram minus.png  Generates simple class link (ru from the table below).
 ru should be: {{used by|Scout}}Разведчиком Pictogram plus.png  Generates {a} from the table below.
  • infobox-used-by-2
 ru       now: {{used by|Sniper|Spy}}Снайпер, Шпион Pictogram minus.png  Generates 2 class links.
 ru should be: {{used by|Sniper|Spy}}Снайпером и шпионом Pictogram plus.png  Generates {a} and {b} from the table below.
  • infobox-used-by-3
 ru       now: {{used by|Soldier|Pyro|Demoman}}Солдат, Поджигатель, Подрывник Pictogram minus.png  Generates 3 class links.
 ru should be: {{used by|Soldier|Pyro|Demoman}}Солдатом, поджигателем и подрывником Pictogram plus.png  Generates {a}, {b} and {b} from the table below.
  • infobox-used-by-all-except-3
 ru       now: {{used by|all-except|Heavy|Engineer|Medic}} → Все классы (кроме Пулемётчик, Инженер, Медик) Pictogram minus.png  Generates 3 class links.
 ru should be: {{used by|all-except|Heavy|Engineer|Medic}} → Всеми классами (кроме пулемётчика, инженера и медика) Pictogram plus.png  Generates {c}, {c} and {c} from the table below.
en ru {a} {b} {c}
Scout Разведчик Разведчиком разведчиком разведчика
Soldier Солдат Солдатом солдатом солдата
Pyro Поджигатель Поджигателем поджигателем поджигателя
Demoman Подрывник Подрывником подрывником подрывника
Heavy Пулемётчик Пулемётчиком пулемётчиком пулемётчика
Engineer Инженер Инженером инженером инженера
Medic Медик Медиком медиком медика
Sniper Снайпер Снайпером снайпером снайпера
Spy Шпион Шпионом шпионом шпиона

Polish uses only one Inflection, but Russian needs one more, and variant with lowercase letter at the beginning.
