This is the template to use for all German adjectives. This template automatically adds pages to Category:German adjectives. It is implemented by Module:de-headword.
This template contains the necessary meta-data to allow users who are using accelerated editing to create any grammatical forms semi-automatically.
Usage
Use it directly under the "part of speech" header (e.g. for klein):
==German== ===Adjective=== {{de-adj|comp}} # [[small]]
Parameters
Usually this template takes no parameters if the adjective is uncomparable (i.e. does not have comparative or superative forms), or one numbered parameter (usually just comp
) if the adjective is comparable.
Parameters:
|1=
- Specifies the stem, comparative and/or superlative forms. The format is identical to
{{de-adecl}}
; see there, and examples below. |nolinkhead=1
- Don't autolink individual words in multiword expressions.
|splithyph=1
- Autolink individual parts of hyphenated words when a space is also present (this happens automatically if no space is present).
|head=
,|head2=
, ...- Explicitly specify the head(s). Only needed in multiword expressions when the default autolinking doesn't work right, and even then rarely needed; prefer the angle-bracket syntax with explicit links in
|1=
.
