This template is used only for English. It is not very specific, because it doesn't allow for things like tense, mood and voice to be specified. This makes it unsuited for most other languages, because only in English is the second-person singular form "special" enough to warrant its own template. Compare it to {{en-past of}} and {{en-simple past of}}, which were also used only by English and moved a while ago. I think we should include "archaic" in the name as well. We already have {{en-archaic third-person singular of}} so this would match that. —CodeCat 22:56, 18 December 2013 (UTC)Reply

Support as it reflects how the templates are actually used. Are is a special case in that it's a distinct second-person form but not archaic. Non-English words can use {{conjugation of}}. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:32, 24 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
