Wikinews:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos


 * This page is outdated since typos are now loaded centrally from en.wikipedia.

These are the typo regular expressions for RegExTypoFix, development is now open to the public.

Please add to/modify/improve these regular expressions!

Adding/changing a misspelling
This list is periodically mirrored from Wikipedia, new changes should be suggested there and an update requested on admin alerts page.


 * Go here to suggest a change if you don't know how to do it yourself or you have any doubts about the change. Knowledgeable users will be able to add it for you and perhaps improve it.
 * Always consider the possibility of false positives—don't add if there is one
 * Check the Rejected Words list
 * Aim to have a single regular expression for each word when possible
 * Keep in mind every addition/possibility of a word taxes more CPU and slows the article-scanning process
 * Remember to update the variable name if you change something that affects it

TODO:

 * Remove any duplication
 * Expand regexes to accept more word endings (e.g., "ing" "ed" "able")
 * Keep in mind some regexes purposely fix only certain versions of a word to avoid false positives. These should be marked with an underscore character _ at the end of the  entry
 * Remove any very unusual words

Typo list
All changes to this list are LIVE. AWB loads directly from this list whenever someone enables the RETF option.

New additions

 * For ease of correcting errors in newly added rules, please add new rules at the top of this section.

General rules
These have to come last, so that special cases (which these might transform into an unanticipated error) get treated first.
