Are we suppose to use "Color" or "Colour" on the Wiki? I ask this as I see a 62 other pages using "Colour" when searching the spelling on the Wiki.

:It depends on what the article uses. If the article uses American spellings for everything, then use the American spelling for everything else; if the article uses non-American spellings for everything, then use the non-American spelling for everything else. Another thing I've noticed is if articles use one spelling, then related article should also. For example [[Armor]] uses the US spelling, when [[List of armored attacks (SSBU)]] was first made it used "armoured" (the non-US spelling) in the title. It was changed to the US spelling later because the other articles about armor (and itself) use the US spelling. See also the [[SW:MoS#Writing style|Manual of Style]]. Unrelated: your signature has "&<nowiki>#32;</nowiki>" in it, which translates to a space; not sure if you intend it to be there. --[[User:CanvasK|CanvasK]] ([[User talk:CanvasK|talk]]) 09:00, June 15, 2021 (EDT) | :It depends on what the article uses.

:: That's the thing, from what I could tell, the spelling does not seem like it is consistent across page types. Also, not entirely sure what you mean about the signature. [[User:Wolff| Wolff]] ([[User talk:Wolff|talk]]) 01:21, June 16, 2021 (EDT) | |||
