I think the page theatre should be moved because the word theatre might be in British English. 99.73.230.112 (talk) 00:55, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

The English Wikipedia has no defined standard English Variety. Some articles are in British English, others are in American English, and we let them stay that unless there's a really good reason not to.   Not done. And this is the wrong venue for this request anyway. * Pppery * it has begun... 22:13, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Theatre should be moved to theater because theatre might be written in British English. 99.73.230.112 (talk) 00:52, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done: This is a redirect from the title in American English to the title in British English. The title is as intended. Sincerely, Guessitsavis (she/they) (Talk) 12:03, 1 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Theater is not a alternative spelling it's actually written in American English so replace that redirect template 99.73.230.112 (talk) 23:34, 3 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

  Not done. Not sure I am following here. The template says "This is a redirect from a title with an alternative spelling..." and Comparison of American and British English says "Differences between the two include [...] spelling". Are you saying that a difference is not equivalent to an alternative? Maybe. In that case {{R from alternative spelling}} would need to be changed or a different template used. I couldn't find a specific template to replace it with, but if you do reactivate your request here.--Commander Keane (talk) 00:03, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

because theatre is used for British English and Theater is used for American English so technically no it's not a alternative spelling replace {{R from alternative spelling}} with {{R from American English}} 99.73.230.112 (talk) 17:35, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply

Done. Thanks for finding the template and making a specific request. Commander Keane (talk) 20:46, 4 November 2024 (UTC)Reply
