 Much of the styles you see in this manual of style is based on Wikipedia's [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Manual of Style|manual of style]], however in some cases Halopedia will differ from Wikipedia. You can find a more detailed guide of this in the [[Project:Layout guide|layout guide]] The following specific style conventions will be used by Halopedia:
-*'''Spelling''': unless written as otherwise, the preferred spelling is American English.
+*'''Spelling''': *Halopedia has no preference as to whether to use [[wikipedia:American English|American English]] or [[wikipedia:British English|British English]] - however, once one style is defined within an article it should be employed consistently. Article titles, however, still preference American spellings.
 *'''Italics''': titles of any media and ships in the Halo universe should always be italicized (i.e. ''Halo 3'', ''The Art of Halo'', ''Halo: Landfall'', UNSC ''Forward Unto Dawn'', ''Truth and Reconciliation''). An exception to this would be those for [[Help:References|citation purposes]].
 *'''Boldface''': in any article introduction, the article's title/name must be '''bolded'''. The introduction title/name should not have links within them.
