This template is used for the headword line of French proper nouns. It uses Module:fr-headword as a back-end.
It should be used just under the 'Proper noun' header for French words. For example, on Algérie:
===Proper noun=== {{fr-proper noun|f}}
This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.

Default plurals

- If the noun ends in -s, -x or -z, the plural is the same as the singular.
- If the noun ends in -au or -eu, the plural is formed by adding x.
- If the noun ends in -al, the plural is formed by changing -al to -aux.
- Otherwise, the plural is formed by adding -s.
