Related question for bonus points: is there a way to force an entire category or the entire database to rescan all entries for new and updated links?

I have resolved this using two methods:
- adding abbreviations for my NPCs (i.e. Napoleon Bonaparte is nNB) and linking those as aliases
- adding the article title in parenthesis ("PCs met dogin (dog)").
English has problems too. Knife/Knives, Child/Children, Foot/Feet, Goose/Geese, Index/Indicies, Person/People, just to name a few. That's not to say the problem itself is unsolvable, it would just take a lot of work to get right.

I think this is generally more a problem on the mechanics side of things. This will hopefully be alleviated for most people by the content market, where you'll just buy the rules content outright (with all the plurals pre-defined) for Orcs, Elves, Axes, and the like.

Not currently, although we do plan on it at some point.
