The deeper I get into studying grammar, the more forms verbs can take on and the line between a conjugation and a grammar point begins to get blurry. However, [this site](https://yukitty-jp.com/grammar/verb-conjugation-basics/) states that there are only 8 types of verb conjugations, with everything else being grammar that just builds around them: (1) dictionary, (2) past, (3) negative, (4) ます, (5) て-form, (6) ば (conditional), (7) volitional, (8) imperative. Is there such an objective listing of verb conjugations like this, or would this be considered more subjective, and vary form source to source?
