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:
- Ferryman, not Ferrymen
- Mnemos, not Mnemoi
- Necropolis, not Necropoli
- obolus, not oboli
- Sandman, not Sandmen
The following links are always referred to in the plural:
- Shadowlands (There is no such thing as a "Shadowland")
- Skinlands (Likewise, there is no such thing as a "Skinland")
- Shining Ones (Refers to the name of a group)
Special Links[]
Because these terms are shared between lines (such as Exalted) or are terms that appear in more that one line (such as Malfean), the following must have abbreviations after them for them to link back to their articles properly.
