Usage
Used to detect possible lists. Useful for infoboxes, where the label may be singular (e.g., "Nickname:") but the data may be a list. One required parameter (the string to search for a list). Returns 1 if not a list, nil if a possible list.
Examples:
{{Detect singular|Mack the Knife}} → 1
{{Detect singular|Mack the Knife, Joe}} →
{{Detect singular|{{hlist|first|second|third}}}} →
It is not foolproof, however:
{{Detect singular|[[Charles, Prince of Wales]]}} →
{{Detect singular|[[Dave Nellist]]}} →
