 * Category:Disabled sport in Wales to Category:Disabled sports in Wales – C2C. Rathfelder (talk) 20:02, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Oppose I have just moved all the "Disabled sports in (Country)" categories to "Disabled sport in (Country)" to make them consistent with the parent category "Sport in (Country)" as well as grammatical correctness - "sport" is already a collective noun, using its plural makes no sense as a category title.

 * although nobody is opposing what you have done, please use the WP:CFD processes in future. These allow other editors to check that proposals fit with policy, precedents and other good rationales before you undertake the extensive work required to move categories; it is always possible that you might have overlooked some important consideration. Also, once consensus is reached at CFD, the hard labour can be implemented by a bot. – Fayenatic  L ondon 13:38, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Editors should note that there's a bit of an WP:ENGVAR issue here - British English will almost always use "sport", whereas US English will often use "sports" as a collective noun. I suspect "sport" is less weird to US ears than "sports" is to British ears so "sport" is probably preferable, but it's something to bear in mind even if it isn't a hard rule. British English tends to imply plurals without needing an "s" more than even other Commonwealth Englishes. It's slightly different but Brits would say "the England cricket team ARE beating Australia" whereas Aussies would see a singular "the Australia cricket team IS losing to England".Le Deluge (talk) 10:32, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
