::Most things are already in the singular, such as all the items. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(plurals) (What Wikipedia does)] I prefer categories to in the plural, because the category of items contains items. Some things shouldn't be changed, like Category:Rail, a category of rail-related things. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categorization#Category_tree_organization Or as Wikipedia calls it, topic and set categories.] | ::Most things are already in the singular, such as all the items.

::Also, what would you think of a template that makes it easier to link to Wikipedia, something like <code><nowiki>{{wp|Apple}}</nowiki></code>? It could be used in pages so we don't have to keep typing a link manually each time. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 10:18, 29 August 2014 (MDT) | ::Also, what would you think of a template that makes it easier to link to Wikipedia, something like <code><nowiki>{{wp|Apple}}</nowiki></code>?

:::There are arguments both ways for plural/singular, and as I said I have no preference so long as we're consistent and try to make a simple distinction between them. A Wikipedia-link template would be helpful for those rare times it's needed; keeping track of its use would be a good idea if it's implemented. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 09:38, 30 August 2014 (MDT) | |||
