Thank you and quick question

Thank you so much for the copy edit on Étienne Perier (governor). A quick question about what's generally preferred with wikilinks. You changed 10,000 [[French livre]]s to 10,000 [[French livres]]. Both get to the same article, French livre, but I thought it was preferable to avoid the redirect by putting the "s" outside of the link. Is there a style rule or is it a matter of preference? —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 21:36, 9 August 2021 (UTC)

Tcr25 Although the MOS shows the link with the "s" outside ([[apple]]s), it does not expressly forbid apples which redirects to the correct article. I think I began doing this years ago when I first started out on WP after another editor went through and "corrected" what I had done. I assumed they knew better. I have found that redirects like this are not always present though. So I guess it's a matter of preference? Twofingered Typist (talk) 13:10, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks, Twofingered Typist, I think I had the opposite experience years ago where s]] was corrected to ]]s for me, so I was just curious. Thanks! —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 13:13, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
