whether japanese has conjugations or not depends on the linguistic grammar model you are viewing japanese through, the wikipedia (and most other japanese sources) obey to what is sometimes in linguistic circles referred to japanese "school grammar", there are other grammar models in which verbs are viewed very differently like where verb "conjugations" are viewed as "suffix verbs" or whatever and there are other ways of transcribing and analyzing japanese in general, in fact many linguistics heavily criticize japanese school grammar for hiragana being the smallest unit of analysis whereas others might be more plausible for example how about the word 噛む (kamu) you can convert it to 噛みます (kamimasu) and other forms like idk 噛もうとした (kamou) now you see the common element is the form "kam" and there are grammar models that recognize this, while japanese school grammar just says mu, mi, mo are all just there somewhat independently, so yeah it's not necessarily the best way to view it but to be honest, it's all made up nonsense and attempts to explain something natural in human words and rules which is kind of redundant and if you view it like that debates like "does this have conjugations" just sound dumb
