Template:IUPAC spelling US[edit]

Propose merging Template:IUPAC spelling US with Template:American English.

Template:IUPAC spelling[edit]

Merge {{IUPAC spelling US}}'s output functionality as a |IUPAC=yes parameter in {{American English}}; the separate template is redundant. Merge the same feature to {{Canadian English}} and (for pages using the silent categorizing templates instead of the annoying banners) its categorizing functionality to {{Use American English}} and {{Use Canadian English}}. For {{IUPAC spelling}}, similarly merge its functionality to the same kind of parameter in {{British English}}, {{Use British English}} and all the other non-North American ENGVAR templates. The IUPAC stuff does not magically just apply to US and UK English.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  05:41, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

Template test[edit]

Please do not use <strike>; this old element has been deprecated for over a decade, and it's use here triggers the HTML "lint" cleanup filters many of us WP:GNOMEs are using to clean up Wikipedia in preparation for migrating fully to HTML5. The correct elements to use are <s> for typographic strike-though ( what you probably want most of the time, e.g. for indicating a redacted comment), while <del> is semantic markup that indicates deletion/rejection and is used with <ins> (inserted/replacement material) in marking up revision of draft material such as a proposal.  — SMcCandlish ¢ 😼  00:32, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
