<p>Correct name for this category?</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>==Correct name for this category==<br /> <br /> So, DEC didn&#039;t seem to have a plural for &#039;VAX&#039;; I searched high and wide, but they always seemed to use &#039;VAX systems&#039; or &#039;VAX computers&#039; when they needed a plural. The thing is, other line-specific categories in [[:Category:DEC Architectures]] use the plural form: [[:Category:PDP-10s]], [[:Category:PDP-11s]], etc. So, we have three choices here:<br /> <br /> # stay with [[:Category:VAXen]] (common among users, but not formal)<br /> # use [[:Category:VAX]] (singular, doesn&#039;t follow our canonical form)<br /> # use [[:Category:VAX Computers]] (clunky, and as a two-word name, also doesn&#039;t follow our canonical form, but follows DEC precedent)<br /> <br /> I&#039;m not sure what to do (although I lean towards #2 or #3); I&#039;d love to hear what others think.
