Module:English variant notice/doc explained

This module is for generating various english variant notice templates.

Automatically generates "variant" from title template that invokes it (e.g invoking from "Template:American English" gives "American English" as variant).

All templates using this support a parameter for oxford spelling and automatically.

Usage

• small, form and including  – unnecessary to use in templates as grabbed when passed in from talk pages
• id – the HTML id used in editnotices; "editnotice" is automatically appended
• image – name of file to be used as an icon, without the File: prefix.
• variant – defaults to the template name; the variant of English, which should be a Wikipedia article.
• spelling examples –gives spelling examples in parentheses
• compare –comparison variants of english
• text – custom text, set only if required to be different from the default
• doc if set to no, will not load the automatic documentation at
• editnotice_cat if set to yes, categorizes in edit notice category
• nocat disables documentation if set to true
• size set the size of the image (example:)
