What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 4.4.1 Please provide any additional information below. If you don't specify a link form when using a link tag such as <txp:linklist />then Textpattern defaults to using the form called 'plainlinks'. However, Textpattern allows you to manually delete that form and not another one called 'Links'. That can cause confusion and possible site error messages.

Surely 'Links' should be the correct default form to use, not 'plainlinks'? That would be consistent with forms such as 'files' which is the default for files if no form is specified.

Also, on a minor note 'Links' is the only form with an uppercase name (although I'm not sure if that's still the case in newer installs of TXP as my test system is an upgrade from early versions - not a fresh install).

We must not change the default form name as this would break existing sites. 'plainlinks' needs to be protected from deletion.

I think we could drop 'Links' from the default template. Its educational value is rather sparse, and it serves no other apparent purpose.

OK, that works for me. I'll remove the Links form from the 4.5 default theme.
