This template may be included on talk pages or editnotices to alert other editors that the associated article is written in Ugandan English. Usually, the article either has evolved using predominantly this variety or has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation that uses this variety.
Talk page usage
To use this template on an article's talk page, place {{Ugandan English}} near the top of the talk page. This produces the following:
| This template is written in Ugandan English and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
Except that, for this and the smaller version, rather than "This template", on an article talk page, it would say, "This article"; on a draft talk page it would say "This page".
A smaller version is also available, by typing {{Ugandan English|small=yes}}. This looks like this:
| This template is written in Ugandan English and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
Placing this template will also add the page to Category:Wikipedia articles that use Ugandan English.
Additional options of |Oxford= for Oxford spelling, and |IUPAC= for IUPAC spelling, exist.
Editnotice usage
To use this template on an article's editnotice, {{Ugandan English|form=editnotice}} is placed (without |form=editnotice if the template name ends with "editnotice") on the editnotice template. This produces the following:
| This template is written in Ugandan English and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus. |
