Ｖ(plain form) + とか
いＡ + とか
なＡ・Ｎ + とか

For the case of a noun with toka, you actually need だ、it`s shown in the 3rd example below

N＋だ〜とか
金持ちだとか （I heard he was rich)

The usage given in the formation section for なＡ・Ｎ does not match that of the example of ex #6262, which suggests that instead of:
なＡ・Ｎ + とか
it should instead be
なＡ・Ｎ + だ＋とか

I checked and confirmed with a native speaker that when using this grammar after なA・N that the formation is indeed なA・N＋だとか.

Additionally, this is found mainly in novels, whereas a conversational equivalent would be と聞いた・と聞きました.

I just know とか with the meaning of 'like'. Or is it the same thing?
