''Singular Capitalized'': this is the default name of the term used as a page name. E.g. “Theory”, “Epistemic Element”, “Authority Delegation”.

''Plural Capitalized'': This will tell the software what the plural capitalized form of the term is. E.g. “Theories”, “Epistemic Elements”, “Instances of Authority Delegation”. If not given, the plural of the term will be constructed by adding an “s” to the end of Singular Capitalized. Naturally, this may violate the rules of the English language so it is advisable to indicate the plural forms of terms.

<p class="sfFieldDescription" style="font-size:0.7em; color:gray;">* ''Indefinite Article'': By default, an “a ” will be added in front of the term if the first letter is a vowel, and an “an” will be added if the first letter is a consonant.</p>
