algorithm[Ovay]

accept verb
from the list of verbs it has been passed.
check wikt for verb
see if we have a page for the infinitive, if not, do nothing.
run through all conjugated forms
50 pages are attempted per verb, there are 62 conjugated forms but the infinitive must already exist, and several forms are identical and so listed on other pages

if we don't have a page for the conjugated form, create one based on the following template, if we do, move on to next form.
through to the end
runs through every conjugation for the given verb
repeat
