Proliferation and value

Please see this section at the MOS talk page re having multiple sub-templates here and whether some simplification (and culling) would be a good idea. N-HH talk/edits 10:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That discussion ended inconclusively and has been archived. But one thing that needs to change regardless on a lot of these templates, if they do stay, is the reference to "dialect". WP is written in formal English, not dialect. The main issue they need to address is spelling conventions (where such differences exist at all, which as noted, they do not in the way that a lot of these multiple templates imply they might).
