Template:EngvarB
 | This template is used on approximately 106,000 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.[clarification needed] It has its own categorisation, independent of British (or 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 template puts articles in the hidden maintenance category Category:EngvarB (containing articles that use spelling that cannot be identified as either American English or Canadian English), where they can be worked on by the EngvarB script.
User:Ohconfucius/USE disclaimer
This template has a date parameter. After an article has been initially tagged, and bearing in mind article evolution, a periodic script or bot[clarification needed] runs to clean up spellings, correct any new introductions since its last visit, and update the visit date on the {{EngvarB}} template.[clarification needed]
This is not a temporary cleanup-request template, and it should remain in an article, unless there is a valid reason to remove it. The most common valid reason is that the article uses a different language variant, so should use a different template (listed in the "See also" section below).
