Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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 {{English variant notice/documentation}} near the top of the talk page. This produces the following:

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 {{English variant notice/documentation|small=yes}}. This looks like this:

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

Editnotice usage

To use this template on an article's editnotice, {{English variant notice/documentation|form=editnotice}} is placed (without |form=editnotice if the template name ends with "editnotice") on the editnotice template. This produces the following:


.

All users can create editnotices for their user and talk pages but only administrators and 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 talk page, using the template {{Edit template-protected}}.

An example talk page request you might emulate appears below:

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