This template was considered for deletion on 19 August 2005. The result of the discussion was "no consensus to delete (this and other similar templates)". |
There's been some discussion at Wikipedia_talk:Bots#Creating_a_Wikipedia_Bot about adding the new Template:R from plural to all applicable plural redirects. However, it was mentioned in that discussion by the Wikipedia database admins, that in large numbers that categories have big performance issues, whereas lists don't seem to. Is there some way that Template:R from plural can be modified to use lists instead of categories? -- All the best, Nickj (t) 08:29, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
In concert with the descriptions on related templates, I've added a short bit about what to do with the link. (Since the job queue has been implemented, template edits are not the concern that they were in the past.)
Please add text to document the alternative {{R to singular}} (aliased by redirect)
- replace the line
This is a redirect from a plural word to the singular equivalent.
with:
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.
Sorry, but then you'll have to check the two wikipedia help pages, Wikipedia:Template messages/Redirect pages and IIRC Wikipedia:Redirects (or subpages of those! Check whatlinks here) and make sure they new text displays okay within the help tables...

I'm not sure sure this template should be adding this category, I'm sure there's many plural article titles that would be useful in a print encyclopedia, assuming that's what this category is for. -- Ϫ 02:11, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Please remove the Category:Unprintworthy redirects from this Redirect category template per the above discussion.
OR...
add some markup that will allow editors to omit the Unprintworthy cat, as in
{{R from plural|1=printworthy}}
or simply{{R from plural|printworthy}}
Thank you! — Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX ) 21:50, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
This is to officially ask that this Rcat template be made to populate Category:Printworthy redirects when necessary. This will require the following change. From this...
{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|printworthy||[[Category:Unprintworthy redirects]]}}
...to this...
{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|printworthy|[[Category:Printworthy redirects]]|[[Category:Unprintworthy redirects]]}}
This will leave no question as to these particular plurals being printworthy. — Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX ) 02:38, 14 February 2011 (UTC)
[[Category:{{#ifeq:{{{1}}}|printworthy||Un}}printworthy redirects]]
Okay, I made the change. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:21, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
The /doc page has been updated, and Twinkle has been informed. — Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX ) 17:54, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

{{editprotected}} The new Redirect, R from plural, needs Rcats as follows:
#REDIRECT [[Template:Redirect from plural]]{{R from move}}{{R template}}{{R to redirect template}}
Thank you! — Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX ) 18:22, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

I think this template should be moved back to Template:R from plural. Being the template with "R " is a known convention of redirect templates and it's a bit of unnecessary hassle to move every template. The average reader will never see the redirect templates so it doesn't matter if they do not understand them. McLerristarr | Mclay1 03:35, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

The still somewhat new redirect, R from plural, needs Rcats as follows:
#REDIRECT [[Template:Redirect from plural]]{{R from move}}{{R to redirect template}}{{R from shortcut}}
Thank you! – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX ) 21:32, 27 March 2011 (UTC)

The recently created redirect, Template:R from plural, needs a slight change to put it in the correct shortcut category, as follows:
Present state...
#REDIRECT [[Template:Redirect from plural]]{{R from move}}{{R to redirect template}}{{R from shortcut}}
Please modify to...
#REDIRECT [[Template:Redirect from plural]]
(PLEASE LEAVE THIS LINE BLANK)
{{Redr|from move|to redirect template|from template shortcut}}
Note: {{Redr}} is just a new "shortcut" way to add redirect templates to redirects, so the only visible change that this modification makes is to remove the R from plural REDIRECT from the inappropriate Redirects from shortcuts category and place it in the appropriate Redirects from template shortcuts category. – Paine Ellsworth ( CLIMAX ) 22:04, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Why does this template enforce a restriction to article namespace? (See Wikipedia:Not editing because of Wikipedia restrictions for an example of supposed misuse.) Why does it refuse to apply its usual Category:Redirects from plurals category when a namespace error is detected - is that standard procedure? --SoledadKabocha (talk) 23:36, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Please remove . Either {{R from plural}} or {{R to singular}} may be used to tag plural redirects
. This isn't needed, as {{R to singular}} is simply a redirect to this template. ~ Eejit43 (talk) 02:16, 18 May 2023 (UTC)
The redirect Template:R plural has been listed at redirects for discussion to determine whether its use and function meets the redirect guidelines. Readers of this page are welcome to comment on this redirect at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2024 April 30 § Template:R plural until a consensus is reached. —a smart kitten[meow] 12:45, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
I tried using this for a redirected Template talk page, and it displayed the stop warning about not using it there, so I removed the rcat from the redirect page. It also suggests using {{R from modification}} instead, but this makes little sense to me; what is different about {{R from modification}} that makes it any more appropriate than {{R from plural}} for a template talk page?
