{{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.

Line 8 ⟶ 19:

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:

Line 14 ⟶ 26:

{{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 ===

Line 21 ⟶ 34:

{{#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 editnotice {{{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|adminhelpEdit template-protected}}.

An example talk page request you might emulate appears below:

<code><nowiki>{{adminhelpEdit_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>

=== Variants ===

This template should have a "Use X English" counterpart from [[:Category:Use English templates]] that can be placed on the article itself to indicate the English variant used and assist with scripts and bots that normalize spelling. See the below table.
