Guide to the templates
The following guidelines may help in choosing a Persian conjugation template to use on a page:
 * 1) If the verb infinitive ends with دن, then use a template whose name ends with -dan. If it ends with تن, then use a template whose name ends with -tan.
 * 2) If the verb stem begins with alef or both begins and ends with alef, then use either Template:fa-conj-aa-dan or Template:fa-conj-aa-tan.
 * 3) If the verb stem begins with a consonant and ends with alef, then use either Template:fa-conj-cons-aa-dan or Template:fa-conj-cons-aa-tan.
 * 4) If the verb stem begins with a consonant and ends with vav, then use either Template:fa-conj-cons-oo-dan or Template:fa-conj-cons-oo-tan.
 * 5) If you need only a single-tense conjugation into all six persons, then use Template:fa-conj-irreg-pres and see the documentation there for instructions if needed. Template:fa-conj-irreg-pres-p is the same but with personal pronouns added.
 * 6) If the verb is a compound verb with کردن, then use Template:fa-conj-comp-kardan and see its documentation if needed

The list below gives descriptions for the numbers used in the aforesaid templates excluding the last three.
 * 1) Basic stem (Infinitive minus دن or تن)
 * 2) Basic stem transliteration
 * 3) Present stem (with ی added if vowel connection is to occur)
 * 4) Present stem transliteration
 * 5) Basic stem, medial (آ becomes ا)
 * 6) Present stem, medial (آ becomes ا, and final ى is present if need be)
 * 7) Imperative stem (Present stem without final ى)
 * 8) Imperative stem, medial (آ becomes ا)
 * 9) Noun component (of a compound verb)
 * 10) Noun component transliteration

Also, be careful when entering the information for templates that use numbers beyond 5, as the sequences for  and   will be reversed because they string multiple Arabic-script entries together. So, once you have entered all the numbers (if the template happens to reach number 11), the order will appear in the coding as the following:. --Goldenbrook 23:36, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Note: Numbers 10 and 11 are merely proposals, as they have not yet been used in any templates


 * Additional Note: Templates for compound verbs are also available for verbs with شدن (Template:fa-conj-comp-shodan) and بردن (Template:fa-conj-comp-bordan). --Goldenbrook 17:51, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
