Connel -

You say keep objects - do you expect a redirecting entry for every plural noun in the dictionary? It seems wrong to me.--Dizzley 21:56, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC).

Ultimately, yes. For external searches having the plurals defined is crucial. Database "cost" is negligable. Occasional irregular plurals benefit from having separate entries. Plurals with extraneous meanings require separate entries. External spell-check searches ultimately will depend on this assumption. "bots" later in the process will auto-populate entries (I bet.)

The only argument against the concept is that it could be construed as artificially inflating the count. But Wiktionary is not paper, so even that argument is specious. --Connel MacKenzie 23:42, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I needed some sort of word on this. I can go with that. For ordinary plurals I will make a redirect. Dizzley 22:39, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
