साँचा:R to plural

• यह एक पुनर्प्रेषण है a singular noun से its plural form
  • Redirects of this sort exist for reader convenience in cases of singular-plural pairs or false singulars, wherein the plural or plural-looking form is better attested in usage, such that the normal "prefer the singular" Wikipedia naming convention is not followed. Example: [[Edward Fortyhand]] redirects to [[Edward Fortyhands]] (The former term is not used at all, but readers accustomed to usually finding articles at their singular names may attempt to drop the "s" from this term in seeking the article, unaware that the real article does include the terminal "s".)

साँचा परिचय

Usage

This redirect category (Rcat) template populates Category:Redirects to plurals. Add this Rcat to a redirect in the following manner:

#REDIRECT [[(Target page name)]]{{R to plural}}

Use this Rcat on all redirects from the singular of a plural target. The Rcat {{R from singular}} redirects here and can also be used.

There is usually no need to show these singular forms in print, so this Rcat populates Category:Unprintworthy redirects by default.

Example: Edward Fortyhand redirects to Edward Fortyhands (The former term is not used at all, but readers accustomed to usually finding articles at their singular names may attempt to drop the "s" from this term in seeking the article, unaware that the real article does include the terminal "s".)

Some singulars are printworthy, for example the Arabic and Latin forms. When you add this template to a redirect that you decide is printworthy, then use the first parameter to subdue the unprintworthy category in the following manner:

{{R to plural|printworthy}}

That will subdue "unprintworthy" and, in addition, add the redirect to Category:Printworthy redirects.
