Special case verbs are verbs that only work in very specific situations, may not have functionality outside of that situation, and are not tied directly into roleplaying or systems. Some verbs may be two or all three of the options depending on situation. An example of a special case verb is [[Verb:ABANDON]].

:* {{boldmono|(Verb) SET}} information should also be set up in this area under <code><nowiki>===Subheader 3===</nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki>===BOW SET===</nowiki></code>. This should only be done if the verb has various ways to set it up based on race, culture, or other parameters
:* Verb output should be displayed utilizing <code><nowiki>{{Verbtable|80}}</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>{{Verbtableheader}}</nowiki></code> and be broken up depending on targeted or non-targeted, styles, etc. The below c/p should give an idea as to how to utilize the templates to build the table, however because verbs may vary considerably, there is no set way to create the table to work in all instances.
:**Untargeted: <pre{{log2}}><nowiki>{| {{verbtable|80}}

: '''For system/special case verbs:'''
: In most cases, these verbs will not have a need for the above tables in regards to their use, as any usage/messaging is first person/informational only. When entering information here, each verb modifier should be its own <code><nowiki>===Subheader 3===</nowiki></code>, with a quick summary of what that particular function does. Verb pages should not house mechanics information, and should only focus on the verb itself. A separate article should be created for mechanics pertaining the verb, if necessary. For an example of page set up, please see [[Verb:ARMOR]].


* '''Additional Information''': Additional information, if applicable, should be entered as <code><nowiki>==Subheader 2==</nowiki></code>, ex. <code><nowiki>==Additional Information==</nowiki></code>. If there are external links, they should be listed under <code><nowiki>==Resources==</nowiki></code>, and would include links to definitions. If there are internal links, they should be listed under <code><nowiki>==See Also==</nowiki></code>, and may include links to other similar verbs articles that pertain to certain variables of the verb.
'''Verb Info:''' Please utilize this space the verb's verb info menu. This is typically for roleplaying verbs only that may have modifiers based on styles, race, culture, or other options, and is called when typing {{boldmono|VERB INFO (verb)}}. To ensure this is set up properly under the correct header, please start the entry with <code><nowiki>==Verb Info==</nowiki></code>.

This is the "Verb" form. To create a page with this form, enter the page name below; if a page with that name already exists, you will be sent to a form to edit that page.

When creating the page name, the correct syntax is to utilize the Verb: namespace followed by the verb name in all caps, with no spaces before or after the colon, ex. Verb:MILK.
