"мн.ч." is just the abbreviation for "множественное число" (the plural form).

You'll also see "ед.ч" there, which stands for "единственное число" (the singular form).

The full list of abbreviations can be found on the main page of ru.wiktionary.org via the link Условные сокращения. "Мн.ч." is in the section "Грамматические категории". – farfareast Jul 05 '13 at 17:04
@dasblinkenlight: “singular/plural number”, as per Anixx’s edit, are valid terminology, as it relates to a grammatical category of number. – theUg Jul 09 '13 at 05:40
