 So I'd like to ask, why exactly are you changing a lot of enemy articles' opening paragraphs to have far more plurality in them than they did before? I'm genuinely curious. -[[User:Gulliblepikmin|Gulliblepikmin]] 19:30, February 24, 2024 (EST)
-I thought it looked rather unorganized the way some enemies are plural and others singular for the articles with seemingly no basis in a consistent schema. I thought it would be a good idea to clean it up such that common non-boss enemies would all be plural and bosses singular. I didn't change the content of what was written, but merely swapped the grammar to be consistent. Please let me know if you disagree with this process or have any further suggestions as to making it more logical. -[[User:Ladishchap|Ladishchap]] 14:38, February 25, 2024 (EST)

+::I personally disagree with this change. Singular generally looks better than plural in my opinion. Using plural makes sense if using singular forces the wording to be really weird, but singular should be the default. It's worth noting that Wikipedia uses singular to describe animals. &mdash; [[User:Soprano|'''Soprano''']]<sub>[[User talk:Soprano|''(talk)'']]</sub> 15:58, February 25, 2024 (EST)
