In fact no one has replied in specific to my most recent proposal as

You are wrong. To me English is English I am colo(ur) blind to what
makes English English or American. You forget that there other types of
English as well and as I mentioned earlier when I am expected to do the
work YOU want people to do, you can count me, and with me many
non-native (whatever English) speakers out, to contribute to
EN:wiktionary. I have posted these reasons before.
On a brighter note, your problem got me thinking and I have introduced
templates in the nl:wiktionary to enable the indication of words in
their regionality. I have created templates for German, English and
Chinese at this time. Propably more will follow. (see
[[wikt:nl:Catalaans]] for an example with traditional and simplified
Chinese The names for the templates are zh-tc and zh-sc. I welcome any
suggestions to make them more usable.
Thanks,
