Main entries should be created for the lemma of a word, its canonical form. Terms in lists of translations, related terms, etc. may link to the lemma. In Wiktionary the lemma is usually:

  • Nouns, adjectives & proper nouns: nominative singular.
  • Verbs: infinitive stem with a dash at the end.

Supplementary entries may be created for variations of the term, usually simply linking to the lemma using a template such as {{inflection of}} or {{alternative spelling of}}.
