Do we have a preference for US or UK spelling of words? I reversed Smurf's changes of organisation to the american spelling on the basis we're already using UK spelling of armour in this entry and it seemed silly to mix it up.

One of the technical issues with wikis is that it's a pain to change a page name once it's set. This is inevitably going to lead to mixed spelling on page names. And, of course, we have contributors from a wide variety of backgrounds, with a variety of spell-checking settings. (And I built a bunch of the Armour tanking page with my own mid-Atlantic mishmash of spelling choices...)
In a less rambling manner: We're going to have inconsistencies. If you want to make spelling consistent on a page, go for it -- but I think you're trying to empty the ocean with a teaspoon.
