@Antique Ruby: please could let me know where Wikipedia guidelines mandate and define "standard language". I've not come across it. Cheers. Bermicourt (talk) 16:49, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Bermicourt Wikipedia is a public information source. Usage of 'connection' is vastly more common than 'connexion', so the majority should prevail. You are free to use whatever variations you wish in your own personal word processing software documents, but not here. Antique Ruby (talk) 23:58, 2 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Antique Ruby: of course 'connexion' is less common, but it's still in the Cambridge Dictionary annotated as 'UK' usage. So I'd still like to see the Wikipedia guidelines please that state less common spelling variants are censored. I can't find them. Bermicourt (talk) 08:29, 3 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
