Listing something like, "Rune," and then having a ton of runes listed feels wrong, shouldn't they be plural?

+1 for Plurals

Well I've been going with no plural, mostly because we use

 

== Recipe == not == Recipes == (even if several recipes are listed)

and

== Usage == not == Usages ==

 

even though there are several recipe and usages listed - perhaps when it sounds (reads) off, we could use a an another term, as in == Rune Listing == instead of == Runes == or == Brewing == instead of == Brews == for example.

 

Runes sounds like Ruins... and Brews sounds like bruise; seriously thought for me something about plurals in a Heading as in a Page Title

 

Same thing goes in article lead: plurals leads to calling inanimate objects they and them instead of it

 

But overall not a huge issue...

The category listing several items is different than a recipe window listing the recipe.

[JC_the_Techie]

There often are several recipes listed, still heading remain Recipe

There are often several items listed under Usage, still. ..

I don't think "usages" is even a word, and if it is then it doesn't make a lot of sense. If anything you could pluralize "use".

 

In any case I say that category names in navboxes should remain pluralized. (Just like wiki category names should.) Section headings depend on the context, the "recipe" and "usage" thing is more of a tradition/convention, there's nothing wrong with plural section names in general.
