a/an

On Ackermann_function#See also, the template currently reports that “Wikifunctions has a Ackermann function”. Can we do something to change this into the correct “an”? Should there be a parameter for it (or maybe move the “a/an” into the {{{2}}} parameter), or should the template try to autodetect it? (CC @Sdkb who added the second parameter.)

@Lucas Werkmeister, thanks for the ping! {{a or an}} is available. I've added it to the template for now, which should address the majority of use cases. Sdkb ^talk 17:42, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Sdkb: Thanks! I thought there might be something like that which I wasn’t aware of :) Lucas Werkmeister (talk) 18:04, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As too often happens, there were not good redirects to that template from plausible search terms, so it took me a moment to find myself. I tried first "A vs. an" and then "Article detection", before finally "Indefinite article" captured a redirect that worked. I tried to pay it forward by creating some additional redirects so that others have less trouble finding the template in the future. Sdkb ^talk 18:10, 15 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
