This is not a user gender-related issue.
In many non English languages, gender and a few other grammatical properties of
page titles are needed for correctly construct sentences. I request that these
properties may be assigned by means of magic words included in the wikitext:
__FEMALEGENDER__ __PROPERNOUN__ __SINGULARNUMBER__
or may be a unique template:
{{assign grammar properties|gender=female|noun=proper|number=singular}}
Then, a template may get a given property of either the current or a cited page
to decide the right form to be shown. For instance, the Spanish language
versions of Wikipedia [[Template:Infobox scientist]] and
[[Template:Succession]] could use this functionality to get the gender of:
The current person:
{{get gender:{{pagename}}|Conocido por:|Conocida por:}} {{{known_for}}}
or a parametered target page:
{{get gender:{{{successor}}}|El sucesor es:|La sucesora es:}} {{{successor}}}
Even other kind of grammar properties required by local languages like
"animal", "person" or "inanimate" may be assigned to a page. Obviously, it
would be especially useful in person-related biography pages.
