	Have you decided yet? I don't want to make lots of arbitrary links to pages that will just be redirects. I would feel a lot more comfortable adding content to the wiki if we had a standard. That said, I think we should really go with the singular standard. Singular titles can easily be linked to as plural without using a redirect (like this: [[coin]]s), but the reverse isn't true for plural titles (so [[coins\|coin]] is inconvenient to write). Plural article titles simply can't be applied to some things (like users, contests and individual worlds), so having everything be singular would be a lot more consistent. I've never seen action tiles be called "actions", yet that's what [[Actions\|the page for it]] is named. It will also bring some debate on whether or not certain pages should be singular or plural. For example, should the page for [[Code]] be renamed Codes? So, please, any mod who is reading this, consider going with the option that'll help the wiki in nearly every way. --[[User:N1KF\|N1KF]] ([[User talk:N1KF\|talk]]) 00:38, 19 June 2018 (EDT)		Have you decided yet?
