Thread:User talk:Yair rand/ Template:plural of/reply (2)

Since months ago, the idea of placing these square brackets is deprecated.

When an entry has no square brackets, it is indeed not counted by texts like the current "Current number of entries: 2,039,565". However, in this case, the bot AutoFormat automatically adds square brackets inside a template, thus causing the entry to be counted.

Therefore, people can safely use, rather than.
