This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
From the plural form: This is a redirect from a plural noun to its singular form.
This redirect link is used for convenience; it is often preferable to add the plural directly after the link (for example, [[link]]s). However, do not replace these redirected links with a simpler link unless the page is updated for another reason (see WP:NOTBROKEN).
Use this rcat to tag onlymainspace redirects; when plural forms are found in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}}instead.
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.

Add this rcat to a redirect page (not a talk-page redirect) in the following manner:
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{Rcat shell|{{R from plural}}{{R unprintworthy}}}}
Template {{Rcat shell}} is an alias for the Redirect category shell template, which may be used to add as many appropriate rcats as needed, usually from one to seven, along with their parameters, to a redirect. For more information see the documentation on its template page. This rcat may also tag a redirect individually:
#REDIRECT[[(target article title)]]{{R from plural}}
Use this rcat to tag any mainspace redirect from the plural noun of a singular target.
For redirects that target a related word or phrase, either the |2= or the |of= parameter can be used to clarify. For example, the Domestic catsDomestic cats redirect targets Cat and is tagged as follows:
{{R from plural|of=domestic cat}}
The text will then be altered to include, ...from a plural noun to its singular form or to a broader article; the singular form is "domestic cat".
Some plurals are printworthy, for example the Arabic and Latin forms. When you add this rcat to a redirect that you decide is printworthy, then use the unnamed parameter to subdue the unprintworthy category[clarification needed] in the following manner:
{{Rcat shell|{{R from plural|1=printworthy}}{{R printworthy}}}}
or the 1= may be omitted:
{{Rcat shell|{{R from plural|printworthy}}{{R printworthy}}}}
