| 1 | This wiki is used in both America and UsefulNotes/TheCommonwealthOfNations. This would be titled "[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_and_British_English_spelling_differences American and British English spelling differences]]", but that could offend Australians, New Zealanders and other people in the Commonwealth who are not in Britain. |

| 3 | On TV Tropes, here's the guidelines (Please note that this applies to things like punctuation as well): |
| 4 | |
| 5 | #'''Use whichever one you're comfortable with.''' |
| 6 | #'''First come, first served.''' Don't change the spelling in someone else's writing; this will just lead to Administrivia/{{edit war}}ring. |
| 7 | #'''If there are strong national ties to the page in question, it's okay to standardi(s/z)e to one spelling.''' For instance, it's okay to change "colour" to "color" on {{Eagleland}}, and it's okay to change "program" to "programme" on BritishBrevity. The same goes for work pages; however, '''do not pothole trope names in the trope list''' -- those should be left unaltered. |
| 8 | #'''Create redirects for titles with multiple accepted spellings.''' This makes the page searchable for both styles. ''Mixing'' styles in a title doesn't usually make much sense, though. |

| 10 | For comparison, here's [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English the policy]] towards this on Website/TheOtherWiki. |
