Categories, singular or plural?

I saw you moved a number of languages articles from Category:Languages to Category:Language. I’m curious as to the thinking of selecting one over the other. Tjoneslo (talk) 16:08, 4 June 2020 (EDT)

Numbers...A lot less to move to Language from Languages than vice-versa. BackworldTraveller (talk) 16:09, 4 June 2020 (EDT)

Cleaning the Double redirects

Vehicles from JTAS14

I've added two of the vehicles mentioned in JTAS14. Another, the "Light APC" is an unnamed example of the class. The Light APC article is a summary page. In some previous instances these unnamed examples were given a name by the wiki staff. The other vehicles mention (Motocycle with sidecar, Motorcycle, Grav Cycle, Ground Car) are all equally generic named. Since this is your project, please let me know how you want these added.

Motorcycle with sidecar would be new for definite. the other three are potential duplicates (Different Manufacturers?) --can you paste details here and I can then I can slide them in as appropriate.BackworldTraveller (talk) 01:44, 24 June 2020 (EDT)

See below. They're mostly just stats, rather than any real description about what they are, and how they are used. It's all assumed. Tjoneslo (talk) 07:20, 24 June 2020 (EDT)
