Yes, I'm not sure about the automatic replacement of words in pages other than the current one — something more along the lines of a spelling-checker, maybe? Where the dictionary can be customised per-work. Is Extension:SpellingDictionary https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpellingDictionary worth looking into? But no, perhaps not, because if such a thing were built as part of ProofreadPage, it could handle scannos as well (punctuation etc.; i.e. be more specialised than just spelling). For example, the PGDP WordCheck system presents the user with a syntax-highlighted view of each page prior to saving, highlighting *all* punctuation and spaces and newlines, and making each miss-spelled word a dropdown or suggest box.

Thank you very much for this idea!
+1 for a gadget or maybe, in the future, a part of the ProofreadPage extension.
An issue that we probably need to tackle when designing this tool: what about not-existing words that could be a typo of two different words? If we replace all instances of the typo by one of the two word, we will change the meaning of the text by introducing a worst typo when the other word is the correct one.

This sounds like a great idea (something akin to PGDP's WordCheck tool http://www.pgdp.net/wiki/WordCheck?) But I wonder if implementing it
as a
Gadget would be easier? That way, the user is already logged in, and can access all the normal APIs etc.
The word lists (both good and bad?) could be saved as subpages of the
Index
page. Could probably make sense to have site-wide word lists too, for all the really common ones.
Do you have an idea of the interface for correcting words (the
right-click
drop down list)?
This could be really useful for all language Wikisources I think!

Gergo Tisza,
Recently, we added more then 2000 books to Tamil WikiSource using Google OCR with OCR4WikiSource https://github.com/tshrinivasan/OCR4wikisource
Most of the books have 30-40% spell errors. To fix them, editing the pages manually is not easy.
I am thinking of a browser plugin with the following workflow.
- user logins to tamil wikisource
- reads a wiki page for any book
- Finds a word with spelling error
- double clicks it
- Inline textbox opens there
- Writes correct word and click ok button
- The change is saved automatically in background
- The old word and new word are sent to remote server and stored
- Mass find and replace for the stored wrong,correct words are
executed periodically
With this design plan, hope users can easily contribute to fix the spell errors.
Hope there may be even better solutions. Share your thoughts on this.
Now, I am in point 1. Cant find any javascript code login to wikipedia without getting No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present error.
The CORS link is not useful for beginner.
Example code in javascript to login to wikipedia will be much helpful.
Moriel Schottlender,
Your solution is fine. Please share the code so that I can extend from there.
Thanks.
