→Conventions: wiki link style
Effort is wasted when someone starts an article "Prank" when it really could have been added to (or already was in) "[[Pranks]]". Using naming conventions lets us use content to its fullest extent, and build on what's there already. Much of the below is adapted from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions Wikipedia's naming conventions].
===Singular vs. Plural nouns===
<div style="float:top"><font size="-2">[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions#Prefer_singular_nouns ''Wikipedia origin'']</font></div>
Most of the time, a singular noun is preferred. When the main focus of an article will be to explain, define, or give the history of the subject, use a singular noun (eg. [[broomball]], [[Mountain Day]], [[crusty]]).
