hey.. how about we create a db script that fixes this stuff? i can do it if you guys approve it and i'll send it to whoever has permission to do this
seriously, just a big select statement that selects any article that contains ie "mispeeling" and automatically replaces the correct spelling...
This is fine until some of the 'mispeelings' are intended....
I figure if we mess up 20 articles, but fix 250, its worth it... or not?
If people like the idea i'll program it, and even tie it into the diff thing, so it logs the edit onto the article history...
Please no! Having 20 of 250 articles murdered by friendly fire is not acceptable. Simply showing 250 recent changes is no help in finding the friendly corpses. Your cure is worse than the disease. Eclecticology
