Present participles currently included in Adjectives, where the latter POS should be verified and possibly removed
If the word can be qualified with "nagyon", compared (forming their comparative and superlative), and converted into an adverb (with -an/-en or -ul/ül) then it's most probably an actual adjective. See also Magyar grammatika, pp. 236–237 (A melléknévi igenév szófajváltása), which also mentions the test of being used as predicates (Az emberek fegyelmezettek) but it may also indicate the conversion into a noun rather than an adjective. (The formation of nouns is not checked this time; this conversion seems to involve fewer mistakes.) If a word can take an object, it's clearly a verb derivative (i.e., a participle), so another sense needs to be sought to confirm it as an adjective.

Another criterion is a change in meaning, distinct from the participle, e.g. kiváló (excellent, rather than seceding out of something) or óhajtó (a clause does not long for anything but it may express a wish); elbeszélő doesn't simply express that it is in the process of narrating something but it's a narrative type as such (i.e., when the word jellegű may be freely added afterwards). Note that A magyar nyelv értelmező szótára categorizes many participles as adjectives while their textual examples clearly show that they are participles only (maybe because they wanted to include the given usages but a participle wouldn't have warranted a lexical definition on its own.)

If they can be translated with an English adjective ending in "-ive" or -ous" (e.g. evasive for kitérő, infectious for fertőző, poisonous for mérgező), so they express some feature (as opposed to a word with "-ing"), then they're probably genuine adjectives. "-ing" forms should be eliminated as English translations of words that are supposedly adjectives.

NB: past participles should be checked likewise. Compare használt könyv (already an adjective, as it shows an attribute of the book) vs. felhasznált irodalom (still a participle, as it only indicates an action or occurrence that happened earlier).

Linking vowels
Overlapping with the above, the template should be replaced with  or  in many (though not necessarily all) of the following participle entries. At the moment, some participles may have exclusively -k, others may have exclusively -ak/-ek using the former template in either of these two versions:  . According to the purist view, only those participles can have a linking vowel that have no arguments and are conceived as adjectives, while those that retain their arguments and are specified for the particular situation should not have a linking vowel (“csak a bővítménytelen, melléknévként felfogott alakokat használhatjuk előhangzós többes számban, a bővítményüket megőrző, tehát szituációra konkretizált igenévi alakokat viszont mindig előhangzó nélkül; tehát például: a megjegyzéseket – a sértőeket – nem vette figyelembe (tehát a megjegyzések a beszélő szerint a sértő melléknévvel minősíthetők), de: a megjegyzéseket, az egyébként őt is sértőket, nem méltatta figyelemre.”). Also: ezek a borok kitűnőek, but a szorgalmukkal kitűnők (dicséretet kaptak). If there is no lexicalized adjective which could have the declension table extended with -ak/-ek, the participle should generally allow for variation in the plural, e.g. a kellemes hírekre koncentráltunk, az aggodalmat keltő(e)ket egyelőre elhessegettük. (This is a participle as it has its own object and yet it may have the linking vowel. Several -ó/-ő adjectives in ÉKsz. are actually participles as shown by their verbal arguments.)

Words with, , and should be checked likewise.

Participle forms should be included (aside from Noun forms)
as long as they can have an object or an adverbial, that is, as long as they can actually retain verb-like features, e.g. alapítók can have the object céget (alapítók) and fordulók can have the adverbial hozzánk (fordulók), so they should also have the section "Participle". Samples:.

Compound words with short words
To be added especially to the nouns in Category:Hungarian two-letter words, Category:Hungarian three-letter words and to the most common nouns (if their own entries exist) in Appendix:Hungarian four-letter words.

Why it's useful: To help users identify the composition of terms even if these terms don't have entries of their own, e.g. have the same ending but three different parsings:.
