Mediawiki prefers American English. I've just found a couple of British words (see below). I don't know about the other projects here.

Mediawiki prefers American English. I've just found a couple of British words (see below). I don't know about the other projects here.

There are many words to check (see for example here or here). Before doing that, does anyone at Mediawiki care about this?

• favourite
• expiry
• whilst
• grey
• behaviour

It certainly doesn't come up high on the priority list, but patches submitted against MediaWiki or extensions would likely get merged.
