Rename: External_workbenches to External_workbench

Post by vocx »

The External_workbenches page should be renamed to External_workbench. Another one, Macros should be Macro.

Why? Because when linking pages it's better to use singular nouns than plural nouns in a flowing sentence.

For example, "The EM Workbench is an external workbench".

Since the page does not exist, I need to rewrite my sentence, which is annoying,

For example, "The EM Workbench is one the external workbenches".

In the wiki itself a link can be made plural easily

Code: Select all

[[Singular_noun]]s

[[Singular_noun|Singular_nouns]]
However, when the original link is plural it can only be used in the second way.

Code: Select all

[[Plural_nouns|Plural_noun]]

These pages are referred to by hundreds of links, I'm afraid that the move also blocks these pages.
Maybe it's safer to move them by hand and put a redirect.
