Template:EngvarB

Template:Template for discussion/dated Please note that {{EngvarB}} is now independent of any British English templating. It has its own categorisation, also independent of British (or indeed any other) English variant categorisation. An article tagged with one of the specific language templates must never be changed to {{EngvarB}}

Usage

This maintenance template adds articles to the hidden category Category:EngvarB to denote articles that have non-specific spelling that cannot be identified as American English or Canadian English spelling. This is a spelling marker indicative of variants only from the viewpoint of the dictionary incorporated into ENGVAR script. The template and its use do not imply any statement, endorsement or otherwise of the code of English used in the tagged article. Please refer to the author if there is disagreement about words included in the dictionary.

This is a dated template. After an article has been initially tagged, and bearing in mind article evolution, a periodic script or bot runs clean up spellings, correcting any new introductions since its last visit, and updating the visit date on the {{EngvarB}} template.

This is not a temporary "cleanup" request template. Therefore, do not remove the template without valid reason, such as a determination the article should use a different language variant.
