This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect: - To its plural form: This is a redirect from a singular noun to its plural form.
- Redirects of this sort exist for reader convenience in cases of singular–plural pairs. It is also used for "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. Examples:
- Scissor
 Scissors - TrouserTrousers
- Use this rcat to tag qualified mainspace redirects only; if qualified singular forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
- From an alternative spelling: This is a redirect from a title with an alternative spelling of the target name. Pages that link to this redirect may be updated to link directly to the target page if that results in an improvement of the text. Do not "fix" such links if they are not broken. Also, these links should not be replaced with piped links.
- There are many more specific templates such as {{R from alternative hyphenation}}, {{R from alternative punctuation}} and {{R from alternative spacing}}. Also see subcategories of Category:Redirects from modifications for other options (capitals, abbreviations, diacritics, plurals, stylizations, transliteration, ligatures, different parts of speech, etc.)
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized. |
