The Report specifies the semantics of most (all other than Generic?) derivation strategies that are baked-in to the compiler.

I think this raises an issue of what *exactly* we are currently referring to as "bespoke". E.G. can it vary with the precise compiler being used? (Maybe your wiki page addresses this; I haven't clicked through.)

But maybe "language-report" would supplant "bespoke". And perhaps "GHC-7.8" would also make sense, if the baked-in derivation scheme varies from the report's spec? Etc.

Given the prevalence of spellings like "normalise" in common Haskell packages, we might just be settling on British English. Being American makes that a tad difficult on my end, but personally I can make peace with it.

I also like 'bespoke' but then it seems to be a much more common in
British English than American English.
