Re: Wikipedia:Perennial_proposals#Enforce_American_or_British_spelling

  1. Add templates {{AmE}} and {{BrE}} to the end of an article to define its English type for variant spellings, grammar (?), date formats, and units.
  2. Allow users the option of viewing:
  1. Their preference
  2. Whatever the template says
  1. Readers who are not logged in will see either:
  • Whatever dialect the template demands
  • Whatever dialect the article was written in, including inconsistencies within the text
  1. Add <eng> tag to Wikimedia. All text within <eng></eng> will remain in its English dialect regardless of preference.
E.g. - The Foo Fighters—an American band—have an album with the title "The Colour and the Shape." Sample text may read as such: "Foo Fighters released the album <eng>The Colour and the Shape"</eng> on <eng>May 20, 1997</eng>. It has a <eng>gray</eng> cover." The album will include {{AmE}} at the end to signify that it is to be written in American English.
