 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:EngvarB. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
 | This template is used on approximately 103,000 pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
 | 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 more-specific English-dialect templates should not be changed to {{EngvarB}} if the article is no longer a stub, or unless a talk-page discussion concludes with consensus to do so. |
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. User:Ohconfucius/USE disclaimer
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.
