Pipe Switches
Hi, I've noticed that you like to edit pages to introduce pipe switches. I thought I'd give you a heads up to say that pipe switches are unnecessary and shouldn't be performed. Ben Moore812 ☎  21:39, November 27, 2018 (UTC)


 * Could you please provide an example of a pipe switch that allegedly shouldn't be performed? Rules are either quoted verbatim or enforced by an admin. Ben Moore812 is not, I'm a afraid, eligible to enforce rules on this wiki. 23:35, November 27, 2018 (UTC)
 * User:Shambala108 reverted | this edit stating "These pipe switches are unnecessary and shouldn't be performed. | This, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, | this, and | this edit are the examples in the past month of dodgy edits regarding pipe switching. I can't find the policy page but I've definitely been told not to do stuff like this before. --Borisashton  ☎  00:12, November 28, 2018 (UTC)

Since my name has been invoked, I might as well add my two cents. Thread:123048, "Plural Links", explains that we do not need to pipe switch plurals and other similar suffixes. It doesn't give a reason, but here's one I've encountered: It's much easier to change links for page renames if there aren't any pipe switches. So to make a long story short (too late), don't pipe switch if you don't have to. Thanks, Shambala108 ☎  02:06, November 28, 2018 (UTC)
