Nellie, I've cleaned up the page <http://www.wikieducator.org/Wikieducator:Style_guide/Proposed_guidelines/Spelling>, and reworded a couple things. Have I kept it in alignment with your original intent?
Don't get down on yourself for having trouble with the boilerplate. In fact, you've helped me to think up a way to make it easier to use! Take a look to see how I've edited it, and please tell me if you have other suggestions. I think I'm in agreement that we wouldn't necessarily want to restrict all members to a specific regional spelling choice, but that it should be consistent throughout the resource/page. I'm beginning to think we may need to implement a hidden template that makes certain style declarations such as which regional spelling choice the document should adhere to (to aid in situations like Aus. v Brit.) and the opt out choice we're providing in the policy.
