Spelling Guide (UK/US/Canada) NEW: The 30 most common British spellings

• See National varieties of English in the Wikipedia Manual of Style.
• Articles should have consistent spelling.
• Wikipedia should not only accept UK and US spelling, but also minority spellings such as Canadian.
• According to the Wikipedia MoS:
  • Neutral spelling if possible (spelling a word in a way that is recognized everywhere)
  • Preserving spelling in proper names (you can help!)
  • Articles about topics specific to an English-speaking country should conform to that country's spelling and usage.
  • In all other cases, the spelling used by the first major contributor should be followed. If, however, an article has been stable for a long time using a different spelling, the spelling shouldn't be changed back to the first major contributor's spelling. (Second sentence is not part of the MoS at the moment.)
