Summary by Lucas Werkmeister

automatically generating forms will not be supported for the time being

Ok, we have templates for Polish nouns and they work really great. But what about other parts of speech. Are You able to create many forms from only four parameters? I hope so, becouse You are the only person I know who can create such a tool :) We have ready template in Polish Wiktionary to produce table for adjectives https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/Szablon:odmiana-przymiotnik-polski and it produces whole table of forms from four parameters. Would it be hard to introduce this in Your tool? I know programming and wikitemplating so I can help where needed. ~~~~

I would prefer to wait a bit more before we start auto-generating forms, to be honest… I know this would be possible in a lot of languages, but let’s wait a bit before we run too far ahead IMHO.

Ok, I will leave Polish adjectives without forms for now waiting for your readiness. I hope "a bit more" doesn't mean too long :) I'm eager to fully work with lexemes :)) ~~~~

Well, that’s not quite what I meant :) I would definitely love to have support for Polish adjectives in the tool, but as a regular template, where the user manually enters the forms, without any kind of auto-generation.

There are also vague plans to possibly auto-generate forms in WikibaseLexeme directly, without an external tool (e. g. mentioned in Wikidata:Lexicographical data/Development/Proposals/2013-08#Possible further plans) – but that requires a lot more planning, and so for the time being I don’t want to implement something like that in this tool.

oh, that's a pity :( anyway thank You for your good work :)
