This is a draft of a policy being worked on by the Willipedia board. It has no effect until approved by board consensus.
- Singular vs. Plural nouns
- wiki link
- willi rule of thumb: when the main focus of an article will be to define or give the history of the subject, use a singular noun (broomball, Mountain Day). when listing and explaining instances of the subject -- especially when defining what the title means would be silly for willipedia -- use a plural (Pranks, Classes).
- Use -ing Verbs
- [gerund of verbs wiki link]
- for activities, common practices, and the like, try to use the most basic but most unique gerund verb applicable. Instead of "Great places to ski" use "Skiing" and, after talking generally a little about skiing at williams, have a section on "places" if you wish.
- When what would otherwise be a section gets large and detailed/complex enough to be its own article (Skiing cheaply) use the shortest descriptive title you can (Skiing cheaply vs. Ways you can ski cheaply) and be sure to link to this article in a (perhaps empty) section of the main article.
