Template talk:R to plural

message: I think we should merge this and Template:R from singular. They're the same thing really. They could both exist, but with one redirecting to the other.

thread_title:  Merger Proposal 

message: :Category:Redirects to plurals leads with "This is not a license to create articles against English language Wikipedia Naming conventions, but is for the rare case where the plural is uncategorically correct.". Which gives that particular category slightly more value than just your typical tracking category as it's actually helping to track discrepant article titles (or rather, exceptions to the rule, :Category:Redirects to acronyms and WP:ACRONYMTITLE is another one like this). I think this also bestows a little more responsibility on the part of the user of (at least) this template to not be polluting its respective category by adding every combination of capitalization or spelling variation! For example, "Smart Bookmark" redirects to Smart Bookmarks. Once that gets tagged as a redirect to plural, lowercase "smart bookmark" should NOT be also tagged! This does not help to get an accurate count of how many individual article titles are actually in plural form. It reduces the usefulness of the category IMO. So anyway, in light of this, I propose we include something in the documentation and/or the template page text that can educate editors on this. Any thoughts? , I know you specialize in rcats.. would be interested in your comments. -- œ™ 03:31, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, œ – looking over this cat, it doesn't appear to conform much to how it was first meant to be.  Looking at the example on this subject page, "trouser → trousers", I see a lot of garbage in the cat.  To answer your question, it is probably my fault, at least partly, for not including the trouser example on the /doc page.  I suppose I figured that keeping it in the rcat text should be enough.  No, that's not right either, because most of the garbage probably entered the cat before text was visible on redirects.  I really should have included the trouser example.  I'll put it and another example on the /doc page, then I'll put the cat on my cleanup to-do list.  I'm not sure how good it will be for the task of keeping track of incorrectly named articles, though.  A correct count of such articles would only be had after subtracting the redirects that are supposed to be in this category (like "trouser").  Anyway, I'll get right on it. Best of Everything to You and Yours! – Paine  00:40, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

message: The description seems to imply it's only for incorrect singular forms, but it isn't entirely clear on this? I don't know whether redirects like the above should use this template or . Thanks, Rob984 (talk) 08:31, 7 November 2017 (UTC)
