Summary by Dcljr

Page has been renamed.

This help page should be moved to "Help:Notifications/Notification types" (singular "/Notification") or, better yet, just "Help:Notifications/Types".

(I'm not going to try to do this myself, since I don't know how page moves work [or maybe don't?] when the corresponding talk page is Flow-enabled.)

Simple curiosity from a non-native English speaker, what is the grammatical reason for renaming it?

MichaelMaggs (talkcontribs)

Just jumping in here, if I may. The current wording is not idiomatic.

Adding 'type' to a noun creates the noun phrase "[noun] type", with [noun] always being in the singular. If there are multiple types, the noun phrase becomes "[noun] types", again with [noun] in the singular.

So, for example:

Types of cell -> cell types

Types of hair -> hair types

Types of property -> property types.

But anyway, Help:Notifications/Types would be best.

Thank you for the explanation. :)

I made the move.
