Guild Wars Wiki:Spelling

This page is currently an inactive policy proposal. It is not being actively discussed or revised, or is not mature enough to be a policy proposal. Feel free to change this page and participate in the discussion.

Always use American-English spellings in articles.

• Remember to assume good faith where editors have not used such spellings.
• When quoting from the game, be exact in the spelling. In the case of misspellings in game, use the {{sic}} template to indicate you are quoting verbatim.

Redirects

Commonly used spelling variations redirects are encouraged to aide navigation of the wiki by all users.

• For example Armour redirects to Armor.

Why should we use American-English?

The reason for this is for consistency with the game and over the wiki as a whole.

• The in-game English language setting uses American-English spellings.
• If different language variations of spellings are used through-out the wiki it becomes confusing to editors as to which they should use.
