472:, removing slang and usage, abbreviating names and replacing non-obvious ones, and removing the descriptive/prescriptive groups. Oxford gets its own group, though all but the OED could be in the British English line. Of course BrE dictionaries cover AmE and vice versa; but they label words specific to the other dialect as such, and don't label words specific to their own dialect, so it does make sense as a grouping.

I'd suggest maybe adding quite a few more, and list the section head as 'Some notable dictionaries', or to create a list of all of the entries in the category and link that in an 'above'. Just brainstorming here, it seems fine as is but you are right about selecting an inclusive criteria.

Thanks for taking the time to improve it, which i believe you did. i had simply tried to rescue it from complete oblivion, using my best understanding of topics like prescriptive. I agree that Oxford deserves a group. I have no complaints, considering my work on it was very basic (i do know some of

I found this barely used template, with an odd name, and renamed and expanded it. I would like to know if this is a useful idea. i can see other organizing principles (region, time period) and adding more info, such as the first pub date. i may also have some of them miscategorized, as i am not a

How many on-line dictionaries with
Knowledge pages have you found? If it's not too many, too tangential, or an unmanageable amount, please add them on, as the template is not overly large. It would seem hard to define or limit the criteria when the name itself sets the criteria.
402:
I had added
Wiktionary, but editors of the Wiktionary article pointed out correctly that its much more than an english dictionary. I think its english dict component is significant, but it doesnt HAVE to be in this template, and its placement can be misleading, so i removed

What's the inclusion criteria for this template? The "online" group, for example, includes a small fraction of the articles we have on online dictionaries in
English. There needs to be an objective criteria or the template is based on

or a "more..." link. As it is now, should we put all 100 plus on the template itself, or pick and choose? The worst option, which some people advocate on these type of things, is to
