::::Because it's also the UK spelling. At least according to the Oxford English Dictionary, going back at least as far as the copy I have from the 70s (which is older than Shada). Oddly, although my OED says "artefact" is obsolete in British English and chiefly Australian in modern usage, my Random House American says "artefact" is chiefly UK. I'll bet in Australia they call it a South African spelling. :) --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 12:28, June 3, 2010 (UTC) | ::::Because it's also the UK spelling.

:::::Um, we have a variety of category names with the spelling "artefact". Can we have a policy ruling on which way the word is to be spelled so those category names can be changed? [[:Category:Gallifreyan artefacts]], [[:Category:Human artefacts]] and probably a couple more.

::::::On the other hand, at least one article ([[Rod of Rassilon]]) is in the non-existent Artifacts category. | |||
::::::Doesn't [[The Invasion of Time]] specifically refer to Gallifreyan art(i|e)facts? If so, maybe we could look for the official subtitles for that and/or the novelization. If it agrees with Shada, we're set. If not... someadmin can make a judgment call and we make them all consistent, I guess? Either way, we probably need add redirects for the other spelling. --[[User:Falcotron|Falcotron]] 21:01, June 3, 2010 (UTC) | |||
