The plural of scorigami is scorigami

In 15:51 of the original scorigami video, Jon says, "Not only has he completed a league-leading 7 scorigami since 2010, ..." DannyM999x (talk) 19:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

I had to delete video link just so this would even send. Why is that? DannyM999x (talk) 19:05, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

@DannyM999x: We're a descriptive dictionary based on usage, not on the original coinage. The original use goes in the etymology, but it's a protologism until the term is picked up by others and it becomes part of the language. If the usage as part of the language is different from the original coinage, the usage is what matters. See WT:CFI for details. If you have evidence that people other than the coiner use the plural without the "s", then feel free to present it. If you don't think people have used the plural with the "s", feel free to tag it with {{rfv|en}} and use the link it displays to post it at WT:RFVE

As for not being able to link to the video: we get literally thousands of attempts by self-promoters, spambots, and various partisans of all ideological backgrounds to use our dictionary to post video links. Mostly they just want to bump up their Google rankings or sell whatever they're selling and don't really care about the dictionary. To keep this manageable, we have abuse filters that block video links from IP addresses and new accounts- and 99.999% of the time those links are ones we'd have to delete anyway.
