Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery/Link matching script/US vs UK spelling differences

< Wikipedia:WikiProject Red Link Recovery‎ | Link matching script

This requires mysql 5.0.3 or newer.

For now, the list contains only a small set of differences. For more possible words to change, see American and British English spelling differences

NB: This doesn't need to include differences in the doubling of letters (ie 'jewellery' vs 'jewelry') as these are picked up by other reports.
