The current solution, making them different pages, is
IMO much worse
than favoring one or the other, since it requires people to basically
copy/paste definitions across multiple pages, and make sure changes stay
in sync. Look, for example, at "traveling" versus "travelling",
which
currently actually have wildly different content despite being the same
word with a minor variation in spelling (this was the first example I
checked).
This whole thing seems silly, bordering on extremely silly. Should
Wikipedia have separate articles for petrol and gasoline?
Possible solution (if it's absolutely critical that color and colour
both have top level non-redirected articles): Put all the content in
{{colr}} and transclude it. If you include a heading near the top and
people use section editing, they won't even know!
