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.

+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!
