{{Lua|Module:English variant notice}}

This template may be included on talk pages or editnotices to alert other editors that the associated article is written in [[{{{variant}}}]]. Usually, the article either has evolved using predominantly this variety or has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation that uses this variety.

=== Talk page usage ===
To use this template on an article's talk page, place {{tlx|1={{PAGENAME}}}} near the top of the talk page. This produces the following:
{{#invoke:English variant notice|_main|variant = ''|nocat = yes}}
Except that, for this and the smaller version, rather than "This template", on an article talk page, it would say, "This article"; on a draft talk page it would say "This page".

A smaller version is also available, by typing {{tlx|1={{PAGENAME}}|2=small=yes}}. This looks like this:
{{#invoke:English variant notice|_main|small  = yes|variant = ''|nocat = yes}}

{{clear}}
Placing this template will also add the page to [[:Category:Wikipedia articles that use {{{variant}}}]].
Additional options of {{para|Oxford}} for Oxford spelling, and {{para|IUPAC}} for IUPAC spelling, exist.

=== Editnotice usage ===
To use this template on an article's [[ Wikipedia:Editnotice|editnotice]], {{tlx|1={{PAGENAME}}|2=form=editnotice}} is placed (without {{para|form|editnotice}} if the template name ends with "editnotice") on the editnotice template. This produces the following:


{{#invoke:English variant notice|_main|form = editnotice|variant = ''|nocat = yes}}

{{#if:{{{editnotice_cat|}}}|Placing this edit notice will also add the page to [[:Category:Pages with {{{variant}}} editnotice]].}}.

All users can create editnotices for their user and talk pages but only [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] and [[Wikipedia:Template editor|template editors]] can create or edit editnotices in other namespaces. Thus, to request this template be added to an article or other page in a restricted namespace, you can make your request at its [[Help:Using talk pages|talk page]], using the template {{tl|Edit template-protected}}. 

An example talk page request you might emulate appears below:

<code><nowiki>{{Edit_template-protected}}</nowiki><br/>
Please create an <nowiki>[[Wikipedia:Editnotice|edit notice]]</nowiki> for the article, placing in it the template <nowiki><nowiki></nowiki><nowiki>{{</nowiki>{{BASEPAGENAME}}<nowiki>|form=editnotice}}</nowiki><nowiki></nowiki></nowiki><nowiki> Thank you--~~~~</nowiki></code>
