Template:Redirect to plural

• 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 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: [[Trouser]] → [[Trousers]]

Template documentation

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)]] {{Redirect to plural}}

This is in accord with instructions found at Wikipedia:REDCAT.

• Template {{This is a redirect}} may also be used to add this and other appropriate Rcats to a redirect.
• Use this Rcat on all redirects from the singular noun of a plural target. The Rcat {{R from 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 singulars 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:

{{Redirect to plural|printworthy}}

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