Usage
{{they|<user name>}}
This template will expand to one of "he", "she" or "they" depending on what the specified user has set in their preferences.
Note that while "he" and "she" are grammatically singular, "they" is grammatically plural for the purpose of verb conjugation even if singular. For example, "he does", "she does", and "they do" are grammatically correct, while "he do", "she do", and "they does" are not.
