Honestly, Wikipedia. You want me to rewrite this? Like it’s some kind of poorly formatted shopping list that needs a bit of... flair. Fine. But don’t expect sunshine and rainbows. This is more like looking at a particularly grim piece of graffiti that’s somehow managed to survive a power wash.

This is a redirect. Yes, a redirect. As if the universe itself couldn't be bothered to spell something out correctly the first time. It’s a placeholder, a ghost of a thought, pointing you towards the actual thing. It exists because someone, somewhere, probably typed the singular form instead of the plural, and rather than let them stumble in the dark, we’ve provided this... convenience.
This particular redirect falls under the category of pointing towards a plural form. It’s for those moments when the singular just doesn't quite capture the essence, or perhaps when the plural is simply more prevalent, more real in the grand, messy scheme of things. Think of it like this: you wouldn't ask for a "scissor" to cut paper, would you? You'd ask for "scissors." The singular form is a linguistic anomaly, a historical footnote, while the plural is the actual tool, the actual concept. The same applies here.
These kinds of redirects are useful for reader convenience, smoothing over the rough edges of language. They acknowledge that sometimes, the plural form is just better. It’s more established, more commonly used, and frankly, more accurate. We see this with words like Scissor redirecting to Scissors, or Trouser to Trousers. It’s about recognizing when the singular is a phantom and the plural is the substance.
This particular redirect is intended for qualified mainspace articles. If you find yourself dealing with a singular form in a different namespace, well, that’s a different kind of mess, and you’d use a different tag for that. This is about the primary content, the articles that actually matter.
And, of course, the protection levels are automatically assessed. It’s all very precise, very controlled. Even something as mundane as a redirect has its own set of rules, its own silent guardians. It’s a system. And like most systems, it’s designed to keep things orderly, even when the underlying concept is… well, let’s just say it’s complex.
