Should list names be singular or plural?
Archived-At: <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/last-call/Nh_O8sREv7mBri2_lbIaijorjNE> As a convention, in IETF YANG modules, the node name of a list is in the singular form. Above the list there can be a container with a name in the plural form. This seems to be supported by the example in 4.26 in RFC 8407. Archived-At: <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/last-call/ERVfU5u9vwFe5VxOHcRN72EgBHY> The usual YANG convention is for a list to be plural and the leaf singular. You have the plural list but not the leaf. And who needs the container? This is mpls not a common module that might be augmented so what does the container give apart from complexity? (Note that this is contradicting the above.) RFC 9243 has plural for leaf-list interfaces { also RFC 9127 list interfaces { All examples in RFC 9254 (YANG-CBOR) have singular list names RFC8040: container interfaces { description "System interfaces."; list interface { RFC6243: container interfaces { description "Example interfaces group"; list interface { description "Example interface entry”; The singular list name seems to be quite popular with a plural container name. Where there is no such container name, it gets a bit more mixed. Is there a document that I could consult?
