Whichever is done (I guess I agree with plural), there is an added wrinkle: there is a template "{Element|name=sodium, etc. etc}" in these pages. That template automatically puts it into the singular category "element". Many of these pages also have the explicit "[Category:Elements]" thing. They therefore appear in both categories. So, assuming that plural is decided upon, the template needs to be changed. Then all the explicit "[Category:Elements]" things can be taken out. In any case, someone with the authority to do so: '''please''' merge these. Then we can start filling out the periodic table in a way that would make Mendeleyev proud. (BTW, those are actually meant to be double brackets and curly braces, but I don't know how to quote them. Please bear with me.) [[User:CScience|CScience]] 19:20, 22 May 2007 (EDT)

:It appears to me that you've settled on it being the plural. That being the case, what do you need "someone in authority" for? The {{tl|element}} template is not currently protected, so any editor can change that, and anybody can change the individual articles (assuming they're not protected). My advice is, go ahead.
:<!-- NOTE: THIS SENTENCE IS DESIGNED TO BE READ FORMATTED, NOT AS A DIFF WHERE YOU CAN SEE THE CODES. -->Incidentally, to quote double brackets and the like, surround the relevant parts with <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki> codes, like this: <nowiki><nowiki>[[Category:elements]]</nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki>. The button on the editing toolbar of a red "banned" circle over a black "W" does this for you.
