Parameters

Categorization

By default, this template adds articles to Category:(language) adjective comparative forms. If the word belongs to a different part of speech, that needs to be specified using the POS parameter (default value: adjective).

For example:

At vaker#Adverb, we have:

{{comparative of|vaak|POS=adverb|lang=nl}}

which places the article vaker in Category:Dutch adverb comparative forms.

Further, for some languages (such as Latin; see Wiktionary:About Latin), the comparative has multiple forms, of which one is treated as its own lemma (headword), with the rest linking to it. In this case, the is_lemma parameter should be set to a non-empty value; this tells the template to add the entry to (for example) Category:Latin comparative adjectives instead of Category:Latin adjective comparative forms. (Note that this category name uses the plural of the name of the part of speech. By default, the template just adds -s to the value of the POS parameter, which works fine for adjectives and adverbs; but in case any languages have comparative lemmata of parts of speech for which this doesn't work, the POSes parameter exists, which if provided supersedes this default.)

For example:

At certior#Adjective, we have:

{{comparative of|certius|lang=la|is_lemma=1}}

which places the article certior in Category:Latin comparative adjectives.

Formatting

By default, the text of this template starts with a capital 'C' and ends with a period. To start instead with a lowercase 'c', set the boolean nocap parameter to a non-empty value; and to omit the final period, set the boolean nodot parameter to a non-empty value.
