There's no way we can use SQL to correct spelling errors automatically.
But even if I fooled around with a SQL query that changed, say, "althought" to "although" -- I wouldn't trust that task to a bot. I would insist on reading every change in context, using probably the article's History page for the link marked "(last) = difference with preceding version".
I think the mispeelings Maintenance Page is wonderful, and we should now rest on our laurels. That's enough automation for this year.
Very good! And how would an automaton correct this sentence: "With automatic spell correction althought is abandoned?" :-) Ec
