Ferrules are not recommended. It's expected that teams will use the Wago connectors as designed, with stranded wire.

Ferrules are not actually discouraged, but you should do your research to see what Wago and Weidmuller have to say about them. The "proper shape" of a ferrule almost always includes flat sides. You must use an appropriate ferrule crimper to make them. Square shapes are probably going to work best for the connectors we use, because they provide a large connection surface and you won't have to worry about accidentally getting them in the wrong orientation.
