Ticket #29233 – Description
initial v1 1 In English grammar apostrophes should not be used to make regular nouns plural [https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp (Rule 2b.)]. In the current documentation (at least in some places, including the default screen for new Django installations) the word is written as "how-to's" instead of the form "how-tos". One could argue whether "how-to" is a regular noun, but I think in this case more confusion can stem from the first form than the second.1 In English grammar apostrophes should not be used to make regular nouns plural [https://www.grammarbook.com/punctuation/apostro.asp (Rule 2b.)].
