साँचा:Redirect from plural

 

---

This is a redirect from a plural word to the singular equivalent.
You may use the aliased template {{R to singular}} to accomplish the same end.

This redirect link is used for convenience, usually for plurals that do not follow simple conventions. In many cases, it is preferable to add the plural directly after the link (that is, [[link]]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see Wikipedia:Redirect#Do not "fix" links to redirects that are not broken).

For more information, follow the category link.

Usage

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

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

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

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

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

{{R from plural|printworthy}}

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