Comment (by coffee2code):

 This ticket is kinda old. After in-person discussions just before the
 devhub launch
 ([https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/timeline?from=2014-04-24T23%3A58%3A20-06%3A00&precision=second
 as noted by Nacin]), Nacin, Siobhan, Otto, and I adapted the URL structure
 to make them hackable (i.e. remove each URL ending path segment and the
 URLs would still work).

 So rather than switching to the singular for specific items as proposed:

  developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/function/some_function
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/hook/some_hook
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/class/some_class
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/class/some_class/some_method

 We kept the plurals (in all cases):

  developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/some_function
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/some_hook
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/some_class
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/classes/some_class/some_method

 Other differences:

  developer.wordpress.org/reference/source_files/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/source_files/file-name
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/versions/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/version/version-number

 Are instead:

  developer.wordpress.org/reference/files/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/files/file-name
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/since/
  developer.wordpress.org/reference/since/version-number

 As Nacin suggested, we could make the singular versions work as well,
 simply redirecting to the plural versions.

 The final set of URLs can be implemented in conjunction with those
 sections being implemented:

  developer.wordpress.org/resources/some_resource (e.g. dashicons)
  developer.wordpress.org/blog/
  developer.wordpress.org/themes/ (theme dev handbook landing page)
  developer.wordpress.org/themes/some-handbook-page/
  developer.wordpress.org/plugins/ (plugin dev handbook landing page)
  developer.wordpress.org/plugins/some-handbook-page/

 That said, I think the ticket can be closed as fixed, unless there are
 objections to the existing URL structure?
