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=.
