Talk:Pet

Imo, the name of this page should be changed to the plural, 'Pets'. While it is Wiki convention to use the singular for page titles, there are some exceptions where it doesn't make grammatical sense, and this is one of those. Using the singular makes it sound more like a verb, plus it looks strange, since the singular is just never used in this form. ‎Spaceboy909 (talk) 00:15, 18 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I think one of the first contributors was anally-retentive when it came to creating page titles using the singular form. the wikipedia naming conventions clearly state that while the singular is preferred, 'There are two main types of exceptions to this rule:...  ...Articles on groups or classes of specific things...  ...Cases where the title only exists in the plural.'  Renaming pages is a bit complicated as it can break several things if not done properly.  If you anything that is clearly a class/group mention them on my talk page.  Hopefully there aren't that many. Pereidh (talk) 12:48, 18 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Oh, and sign your posts on talk pages with ~ (sqiggles/live worms, not dashes/dead worms, definitely not underscores/squashed worms), that will add your name, the links and date. I had to copy that from the recent changes list to fix it. Pereidh (talk) 12:55, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
