Spoilers are strongly policed here.
If this thread's title doesn't specify it's spoilery, don't bring any up.

We have an Artefacts of Rassilon article, and a Category:Artefacts of Rassilon. But we have Rassilon#Artifacts. We've also got other pages spelled both ways, and both spellings appear in the bodies of various other pages.

The OED gives "artifact" as the main entry, and "artefact" as a variant spelling. (This is one of the few examples where the UK and Canada agree with the US, but disagree with other Commonwealth countries.)

But, before I go changing a couple dozen pages to make this consistent (and add a link to the artifacts article from the Rassilon article, and so on): Is either spelling used in the novels, novelizations, etc.? We probably want to be consistent with what's used in-universe, even if it disagrees with the OED. --Falcotron 22:31, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

I will get back to you on this, I need to go and find my Shada script book (which I know has the phrase "It's one of the Artefacts" or "It's one of the Artifacts" when referring to the Worshipful and Ancient Law of Gallifrey. --Tangerineduel 07:17, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Artifact wins. Checked the Shada script book and it says: "It's one of the artifacts." (page 38/2 should anyone wish to check). --Tangerineduel 06:32, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Why did they use the American spelling of the word? User:Solar Dragon/Signature 06:42, June 3, 2010 (UTC)
