#'''If there's 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.

On TV Tropes, here's the guidelines:

#'''Use whichever one you're comfortable with.'''
#'''First come, first served.''' Don't change the spelling in someone else's writing; this will just lead to {{edit war}}ring.
#'''If there's 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.
#'''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.
