• Purpose: Fill in comparatives, exactly as is currently done manually.

  3. Inflection can be provided by regular text wikification, or any other template that wikifies terms.
  4. All but the last three two characters of the root form must match the plural form to be auto-generatred in this manner.
  5. Auto-generated only if there is no other inflected form (e.g. any verb or noun inflection).
  6. ===Adjective=== header of root term must be within an ==English== language section.

• Comments:
  1. I would prefer that the headers of the created pages use ===Adjective form=== rather than simply "Adjective". This makes it clearer that mnore information will be found in a main entry. --EncycloPetey 23:40, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

  The format suggested by Connel matches current practice & various templates including those invoked by nogomatch. I support as is.MGSpiller 01:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

  Simpler as is. Davilla 02:51, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
