Hi - I noticed last year you moved a number of articles to their plural. This is usually not a good idea, as it forces you to rename links. For example, if you were to say "The rupture is a cruiser" you would have to link it as <nowiki>[[Cruisers|cruiser]]</nowiki>. This gets very annoying and tedious. However, the converse is easy: eg "All gallente cruisers are slow" can be written as <nowiki>[[Cruiser]]s</nowiki> and the compiler will correct the link. Can you please explain the reasoning behind your change to those pages?

:When I first started editing the wiki, some articles had singular titles, and some had plural. In an attempt to harmonize articles titles, I changed the singular titles to plural because that's what felt most intuitive to me. | |||
:There are redirects for the singular version of each plural article title, so <nowiki>[[Cruisers|cruiser]]</nowiki> isn't actually necessary – <nowiki>[[cruiser]]</nowiki> would work just as well. -[[User:Djavin novienta|Djavin novienta]] ([[User talk:Djavin novienta|talk]]) 10:05, 3 August 2017 (CDT) | |||
