[edit] External link vs External links

I am citing reasons #1-5 at Wikipedia:External link as my rationale why I and other editors prefer to use the plural even if there's only one link listed at the moment. 23skidoo 00:59, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

It looks like you're trying to apply half of a style guideline to suit your argument. Is your rationale that there are five reasons listed for the plural form and three for the single form? I'm not sure why you felt the need in the first place to "fix" this, since the guideline makes it quite clear that there's no preferred style. fbb_fan 01:03, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Please observe the section that says There is currently no consensus on the preferred style. While it's true that there are "many" editors who use the plural in all cases, there are also "many" who prefer the singular. fbb_fan 14:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
