In American English the term "brick wall" sounds fine.  "Bricks wall" is
odd.
If you asked "what's the bike shed made of?" either "bricks" or "brick"
would be fine answers.


I think that data consumers should accept both, and thus it does not matter
how people tag it.
Describe both on the wiki as redirects to the same place.
