Talk:Mutation

Why is this article title plural? Is there a policy on this? (On Wikipedia, the plural would be incorrect unless there's some special reason for it.) Michael Hardy 19:29, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

... and now I've entered "mutation" in the search box and there's not even a redirect to this title. Michael Hardy 19:30, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

... and now I've moved it. If that's a problem, I presume it can just be moved back. Michael Hardy 19:43, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

... and now, clicking on "what links here", I find that most of the links were to the singular. All of those were red links, although this article existed. That's one of several reasons why having a convention that everybody knows and follows is useful. Over at Wikipedia, if I were to create an article on mutations, I'd use the singular and create a redirect page from the plural title, and also from any commonplace misspellings or miscapitalizations. Over here, I'm not as sure what the conventions call for or even whether there are any conventions yet. Michael Hardy 19:49, 21 June 2007 (CDT)
