[[Pywikipedia:Solve disambiguation-links-removed/en]] should support PLURAL
Pywikipedia:Solve disambiguation-links-removed/en should support PLURAL
This and other disambiguation bot messages should support PLURAL for one and many links. Translation may be more complicated then English (s) suffix.
I guess we will implement a separate plural tw-message if needed other than a $PLURAL(..) meta tag
Adding another message for plural is not going to solve the problem. That is not how plurals work in many languages.
Could you explain please why different messages, one for singular, one for plural, does not work in many languages? We have implemented sth similar for table2wiki messages: table2wiki-no-warning, table2wiki-one-warning, table2wiki-warnings. And there is a bot script (not ported to translatewiki yet) which uses messages like this:
template-msg-change = {
'en':u'Robot: Changing template: %s',
}
template-msgs-change = {
'en':u'Robot: Changing templates: %s',
}
This gives separate messages for each variant.

Let me know is those are not clear enough.
