Hi :-) Are you good at programming templates? Please fix this template so that it's possible to do an adjective with an irregular comparative but a regular superlative. See widescale and widespread to see what the problem is: when an irregular comparative is specified, it suddenly starts treating the superlative weirdly. Ideally, at widescale and widespread, there ought to be a custom comparative but a normal, bolded but not linked, superlative. Thank you for helping :-)
Something must have changed- why is this box showing up when the template is used? On all other inflection templates too. Nadando 08:01, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
There's a spurious ")" when using {{en-adj|-}} in the table layout view (and an extra </span> too). --Bequw → ¢ • τ 10:36, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
There are cases when I want to enter an adjective with no inflections. For example, I created cheap like borscht. I have no evidence that this is un-comparable, nor do I have any attestation for what the comparative and superlative forms would be.
My only choice is to use a different template
{{infl|en|adjective}}
This template should accommodate the situation. —Michael Z. 2009-01-17 22:50 z
{{en-adj|?}} when I'm not sure if it's comparable or not. I think that {{en-adj}} doesn't yet support this (see {{en-noun/doc}} for related information). If nobody objects, I *think* I know how to do it. I'd test in my sandbox before adding it here. Mglovesfun (talk) 14:53, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Apparently, this template is for descriptive adjectives, whereas there are many other kinds of adjectives: See Category:Adjectives. --Jerome Potts 10:55, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
Stumbled on a small bug: if you append information after the template, it is sent down to the next line instead of appearing on the same line, as all other inflexion templates do (e.g. at reconnaissance#Noun where abbreviations are appended). Bug seen at quarter#Adjective... 62.147.24.194 18:06, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
Would it not be desirable to include in the inflection line the notion that some senses may be comparable while others are not, along the lines of countability/uncountability in {{en-noun}}? See mass#Adjective for which one sense has evidence of comparability and the others not. Till the evidence arose, all senses were shown as not comparable. DCDuring TALK 10:48, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
It would be nice to have some way of showing that something is comparable, but rarely so; see prohibited (permanent link). Mglovesfun (talk) 12:28, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
{{en-noun}}? To wit, that we could indicate that a given adjective was sometimes comparable and some times not, and, by the order of "-" and the other parameter (presumably, "more", "er" or an explicit full description) indicate which of the two was more common. The idea of presenting "rarely" seems to raise the kind of question that we have never satisfactorily addressed (eg, "common" misspelling). DCDuring TALK 00:20, 20 July 2011 (UTC)
I wish the template adds the English adjective into Category:English uncomparable adjectives like {{de-adj}} does to German adjectives. --Lo Ximiendo (talk) 08:41, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
Please document the use of the tilde parameter (|~) when anyone gets a chance. I don't have permission level to do it myself. Thanks. Quercus solaris (talk) 15:47, 21 January 2022 (UTC)
I wasn't sure how to do dud#Adjective, because there is duddest but no dudder. @Rua Equinox ◑ 00:20, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
