Template talk:Plural

Smarter plural

I'm all in favour of more automation but I fear a simple "s"-detection won't do the trick. There are just too many words that are plural by themselves like steel, cloth, chemfuel etc. Or rather their plural has a different meaning. Maintaining a list of such words would be a pain. --Ickputzdirwech (talk) 00:12, 18 September 2022 (UTC)

@Harakoni I changed my mind and implemented your suggestion and also started a list of nouns that are usually used as uncountable nouns on this wiki. That still needs some major expansion however. I would imagine, that as soon as someone uses this template in another (automated) template, one would get an overview of the words that need to be adden. --Ickputzdirwech (talk) 10:32, 28 October 2022 (UTC)
