Time-saving links II

Often, you'll be editing an article and need to make a link to a plural. For example, suppose you wanted to link "Fred Foo was famous for his study of puddles" to puddle, you could link it like so: puddles. However, you can save time instead by writing puddles. This also works for adjectives ( Japanese ), verbs ( danced ) and any other suffixes or prefixes. It does not, however, work for some irregular verbs ( tryied does not work; you have to do tried ).
