Oh boy, I know someone was going to ask for it one day in this Wikia. This is very touching subject.

Edit 2: I just realized I should have told you to ask Natichan not me since I'm not the Admin.

Let me share you a story of what happened in Sket Dance Wikia. An Admin who was never active when the anime was ongoing made really small edits, most of them were spacing and weird hyphens and changing British words into American words. At the time, I didn't know the difference between British and American English since I'm not a native American citizen. Was born in Cambodia and moved to the states when I was 10. Anyways, one of my teammates ask me to stop the user from these unnecessary edits. I open a discussion whether to stick to one system or not. Majority of Sket Dance Wikias were British editors. The admin in question caused an outrage after offending the British speakers. That didn't go well. They ask me to remove the admin's status since that person wasn't helping the site from the start and randomly show up to change words which they felt the person wasn't contributing. I ended up passing a rule that we allow both British and American English because I wanted to be respectful to everyone. If someone type armor or armour, they shouldn't change it. Most folks appreciate it that way.

Edit:

When I ask my British teammates on making the whole Sket Dance Wikia into British English, they told me it was unnecessary. They didn't want me to force myself and others to adopt British English. They just didn't want anyone forcing them to adopt American English either way, too.

That's why I never talk about British or American English or changing words after that stressful event.

There are some Wikias that only use American English while there are others that use primarily British English.

I'm not the Admin in this Wikia, but I never saw Natichan, ManikWorld, Dancing Fairy change any words between American and British. It's best to let it be. If you like using British English or American English, go ahead and use it. Just don't change any pre-existing words.
