I don't believe so, no, though someone may correct me. Easy to find out. Have a look at the html generated by widgets_path in the view, delete resources :widgets in routes.rb, restart the server and view the page again. Compare the html, which I believe will show no difference. If you click the link you should get a route not found error.
