- Purpose: Fill in third person verb forms, exactly as is currently done manually.
- Generation restrictions:
- Entry must not already exist.
- Root form must link the 3rd person form one or two lines after the ===Verb=== heading.
- Inflection can be provided by regular text wikification, or any other template that wikifies terms, including Uncle G's inflection templates as well as Ncik's templates (or any others!)
- All but the last
threetwo characters of the root form must match the plural form to be auto-generatred in this manner. - Auto-generated only if there is no other inflected form (e.g. any adjective or noun inflection).
- ===Verb=== header of root term must be within an ==English== language section.

- Comments:
- I would prefer that the headers of the created pages use ===Verb form=== rather than simply "Verb". This makes it clearer that mnore information will be found in a main entry. --EncycloPetey 23:39, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- Spelling rules as above. Also as above, should not have a noun sense, as that would imply both plural and verb inflection. I know there was some opposition at first, but I think you went overboard by dividing these tasks so finely. Davilla 03:02, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
- See "Generation rules #5" - yes, if there is a noun form, it is excluded. I don't think I went overboard dividing the tasks. This is the identical subdivision I had when I first proposed it and Ec unilaterally denied the entire request specifying that each sub-task needed separate approval. I think that is very illogical, but it has had the side benefit of separating the flamewars to only the sub-components generating controversy (i.e. redirects and translations.) --Connel MacKenzie T C 03:45, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
