Eridian Weapons page move
Hey there. I'm sure you had good intentions while moving this page to Eridian Weapon, but the general wikia policy is to have pages such as this as plural, check any of our Weapons categories/articles if you want to be sure. I reverted it, and feel free to let me know if you have any questions/comments. Thanks! --Aelwrath45 18:43, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, gotcha -- I am currently working on cleaning up Category pages containing content more appropriate for the Main namespace. I'll be sure to stick with pluralized titles in the future :)  18:47, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

- Oh wow sorry, thought it was the category page for Eridian Weapons (confused it with Alien guns. Completed zoned out on that one.  --Aelwrath45 00:19, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

apparently plural is this wiki's style
There is little basis for the above statement. When the pages began to surface they were created randomly with no consideration for plural or singular forms. I tried to raise the subject and got no real response from that, so the trend has actually been to place the categories in a plural form and shift most of the article plurals to singular. -- WarBlade 22:54, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Most of the time the article names are in singular and categories in plural. That's how a wiki is built. --Gourra (talk) 23:24, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, that is the "wiki norm" that I am used to dealing with -- categories are pluralized, articles are singular. 05:09, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, I've noticed a lot of copy/paste moves around here -- please use the Move button whenever possible, as that will retain an article's revision history... You can even move over a redirect page, providing it only has one edit in its history and that it points at the article you are moving. Of course the first time someone performs a copy/paste move, they forever ruin any chance of properly moving the article (that is, unless a sysop comes and cleans it up).  05:11, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * That sounds more like something that the public should know, just not the people who read your talk page. --Gourra (talk) 07:13, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. This and several other policy considerations should be laid down somewhere obvious under a heading like "Borderlands Wiki Editing Policies and should be easier to find than this.
