Why Repositories not Repository?

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(plurals) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_(plurals)&oldid=378867016

"Convention: In general only create page titles that are in the singular, unless that term is always in a plural form in English (such as scissors) or is among the exceptions such as those listed below.

Let's say you were writing a page about crayons. Should you call the page crayons, which is basically what the page is about, or crayon, which makes it easier to link to from passages like "Harold took out his purple crayon and drew the curtains"? Probably the latter.

One can still write crayons (which the software is smart enough to render as crayons), but if the page is called crayons, then whenever one wants to use the term in the singular, one is forced into creating a piped link — the ungainly crayon, or creating a redirect (see below). For markup help, see Help:Editing."

Makes it sense to use here the plural form "repositories" ? --Pistazienfresser 17:23, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
