By long-standing convention and as detailed at the Manual of Style, a Wikipedia article needs to consistently use one variety of English. Because editors come from all over the English-speaking world, articles are vulnerable to creeping inconsistency in spelling. These inconsistencies are often difficult to identify quickly, and this script has been developed as an aid to the careful manual oversight of spelling.
The variety is prescribed where an article is related to one of the seven ancestral English-speaking countries; in other cases, the existing variety used in an article—where this is clear—is retained for the sake of stability. according to the EU style guide for publications, British English is the official code of English to be employed for the European Union. This appears to imply that the relevant code for en.WP articles about the EU and its member states ought to be in British English.
The EngvarB script is at User:Ohconfucius/script/EngvarB.js.
The script adds a non-displaying template {{ EngvarB}}, {{ EngvarOx}}, {{ EngvarC}} and {{ EngvarU}} depending on the conversion used. This tagging allows for easy future maintenance for anybody armed with this script or a suitable AWB module, such as mine ( available here).
This javascript tool is my own work; invaluable assistance has been received from Helder.wiki, and subsequently from Lordtobi, to reorganise and rewrite this code.
Feedback is appreciated at User Talk:Ohconfucius. Please report false negatives as well as false positives. You will find an archive of my talk page exchanges specific to this script on the talk page to this.
importScript('User:Ohconfucius/script/EngvarB.js'); // [[User:Ohconfucius/script/EngvarB.js]]
Disclaimer: Use at your own risk and make sure you check the edit changes before you save.
Use of the Safari browser is highly recommended. The script may take a long time to execute because of the complexities (mainly in the number of lines) of protection mechanism, but I have found it consistently executes much faster in Safari than Firefox, but feel free to give me your feedback on that issue. One instance of failure of execution has been reported.
Once you are in edit mode, there are two sidebar buttons in the toolbox in the left margin, revealed by clicking on the small triangle marked "scripts"
It has been reported that a possible conflict may exist with User:BrandonXLF/FloatSide.js, causing the EngvarB not to load.
