Template:es-verb/documentation

Usage
This template is designed for the lemma of all Spanish verbs. Only use this template for the verb's lemma entry (impersonal infinitive). For non-lemma forms, use.

This template should be placed in all Spanish verb sections, immediately following the ===Verb=== section header. It provides the inflection line for the entry. The template also automatically categorizes the entry in Category:Spanish verbs and the appropriate Spanish verb subcategory (e.g. Category:Spanish verbs ending in -ar).

As with other Wiktionary inflection templates, please do not use .

Basic usage
The verb takes exactly the same parameters as. In addition, named parameters can be used to explicitly specify the first-singular present indicative, first-singular preterite indicative and/or past participle.

In general, there are no required parameters. For regular verbs, including verbs with predictable spelling alternations, no parameters are necessary.

If you are not sure of the correct conjugation, specify 1 to indicate this; someone will eventually fix the conjugation.

Parameters
The allowed parameters are as follows:


 * 1
 * Optional argument to specify the conjugation, in the same format as with.


 * pres, pres2, ...
 * Specify an irregular first-person singular present indicative, as an alternative to specifying the conjugation in 1. Normally do not do this; this is only needed for very uncommon verbs that are not handled by . Use pres2 if there is more than one possibility. Use - for defective verbs without this form. Note that predictable spelling or other alternations are handled automatically, e.g. →,  → ,  → ,  →.


 * pres_qual, pres2_qual, ...
 * Specify qualifier text to be placed before a given form. pres_qual is used in conjunction with pres, pres2_qual is used in conjunction with pres2, etc.


 * pret, pret2, ...
 * Specify an irregular first-person singular preterite indicative. Normally do not do this; this is only needed for very uncommon verbs that are not handled by . Use pret2 if there is more than one possibility. Use - for defective verbs without this form. Note that predictable spelling or other alternations are handled automatically, e.g. →,  → ,  → ,  →.


 * pret_qual, pret2_qual, ...
 * Specify qualifier text to be placed before a given form. pret_qual is used in conjunction with pret, pret2_qual is used in conjunction with pret2, etc.


 * part, part2, ...
 * Specify an irregular past participle. Normally do not do this; this is only needed for very uncommon verbs that are not handled by . Use part2 if there is more than one possibility. Use - for defective verbs without this form. Note that predictable alternations are handled automatically, e.g. →.


 * part_qual, part2_qual, ...
 * Specify qualifier text to be placed before a given form. part_qual is used in conjunction with part, part2_qual is used in conjunction with part2, etc. An example where this might be used is, with normal past participle and an alternative past participle  used in Argentina and Uruguay. For this verb, use descripto along with Argentina and Uruguay.


 * head, head2, ...
 * Override the headword. Useful especially to add unpredictable links in multiword expressions (an automatic linking algorithm applies in the absence of this, and links each word).


 * 1
 * Signal that the correct conjugations aren't known. This will not display any inflections, and will place the page in Category:Requests for attention concerning Spanish.


 * 1
 * Disable the autolinking algorithm for text outside of the verb itself, in multiword expressions.


 * 1
 * Disable the autolinking algorithm for the verb. If you use both this and 1, no autolinking will happen, with the result that any links need to be specified using head and non-lemma forms will be linked in their entirety.


 * pagename
 * Override the pagename, for testing purposes and on documentation pages.
