Instructions

Clicking any of the typo links will search Saintapedia for any instances of the typo. You can then edit the pages to fix them.

To add an entry to the list, insert a new search entry using the {{typo search}} (or {{typo}} for short) template with the typo followed by the correct spelling. For example:	{{typo|mispelling|misspelling}}	mispelling - (misspelling)
If a misspelling contains a hyphen, space, or anything else that results in the search looking for either of two items rather than a single item, put the typo inside double quotes and add a third parameter repeating the typo, but without the quotes. For example,	{{typo|"deep-seeded"|deep-seated|deep-seeded}}	deep-seeded - (deep-seated)
Do not delete misspellings solely because of false positives. A better way of getting rid of false positives is to "unlink" it by showing it as a bulleted item without links, and with a brief explanation why it isn't. By leaving it on the list, it will remind other users why it has not been added, and it can be easily re-tested at a later date. For example,	* u (you) (huge number of false positives)	u (you) (huge number of false positives)

Entries on these lists are derived from listings on Wikipedia. There are many terms used on Wikipedia that are unlikely to come up within the context of Saintapedia; these may be deleted from the list to reduce clutter and make the lists easier to use. Note that spellings sometimes vary between varieties of English, notably between American English and Commonwealth English (see American and British English spelling differences). Saintapedia is typically written using American English, so list entries suggesting Commonwealth English spelling variants may be updated to show the Commonwealth English spelling as a typo. When checking for typos, though, note that if an article refers to a proper name using the British English or other alternative spelling, it should generally be left as is.

When adding a misspelling, it is a good idea to also add all grammatical variants of the word at the same time. Alphabetize according to the misspelling.

If you check a large block of words and correct the issues found, please indicate the range of words and the dates on the talk page, so other gardeners know which words haven't been checked recently.
