Per the writing style guide, MDN uses American English spelling.

  • "labelled" → "labeled" in 8 pages (prose and image alt text in Learn web development and the Certificate Transparency guide)
  • "artefact" → "artifact" in the Intl.NumberFormat.prototype.format() docs

Deliberately excluded: verbatim Firefox error messages ("functions cannot be labelled"), aria-labelledby contexts, the favourite-colour example extension, and the style guide's own incorrect-spelling examples.

Spelling-only change; no content changes.
