Formatting
Hey and howdy. It's good to see people enthusiastic about expanding the wiki. However, please take time to read TaRapedia:Formatting, particularily article naming. Once a page has been created it tends to stick around through redirects even if the main article title is corrected later. Otherwise, keep up the contributions. :) - Dashiva 13:23, 13 August 2007 (EDT)

Re: page names
The basic approach to the weapon/weapons issue you mentioned is to have an article named in singular (weapon), and then make the plural (weapons) be a redirect to that page. Redirects are made by replacing the page content with (e.g.), and are automatically made when you use the 'move page' option.

However, we should also try to keep page names stable so they don't move around every week. Therefore it's usually best to add a comment on the talk page saying something along the lines of "I think this page should be moved to because " or "Should we make redirect here?" or somesuch. Give people a few days to reply and discuss, and see where consensus leads. Can easily be frustrating in the beginning, since few people notice and reply, but community building has to start somewhere. :)

PS. You can sign your comments on talk pages using ~, that way it's easier to see who wrote what. Not for use on article pages, obviously. - Dashiva 15:33, 18 August 2007 (EDT)
