Hello, Skarmory! Thank you very much for the welcome, this is very sweet.

Thank you for the links, and the tips. Unsure if this is the correct place to ask, but I do have one question. I am a British English speaker, and whilst editing Wikipedia, my spellcheck will auto-prompt me to fix Americanised spellings. If I were to make these changes, would this be an incorrect style of editing? MxGumble52 (talk) 21:14, 13 September 2026 (UTC)

Generally, you should not be making changes to the variant of English used in an article unless there is a clear reason to do so; WP:LANGVAR is the relevant section of the manual of style.

General questions are probably best directed to the teahouse in the future, though also feel free to either ask on my talk page or here using {{Ping|Skarmory}} before your message to notify me; I'm always willing to help! Skarmory (talk • contribs) 03:35, 14 September 2026 (UTC)
