Non-standard Plurals
Because of the wiki’s policy of using singular forms except when referring to a specific group, the following things should be referred to in their singular form when linked:


 * ancilla, not ancillae
 * childe, not childer
 * priscus, not prisci

It should also be pointed out that all clans posesses the same singular and plural forms, with the exception of Assamite/Assamites, Setite/Setites, and Malkavian/Malkavians. Thus it is incorrect to to refer to "Toreadors," "Gangrels" or "Tzimisces."

Special Links
