HRWiki talk:List of common misspellings

From Homestar Runner Wiki

Revision as of 23:11, 21 August 2006

What exactly is this page for? Nothing links to it, and it seems to just be a waste of space, as no one is really going to read this to make sure they spelled something right. →FireBird

This page is used by MediaWiki in the generation of the "Pages with misspellings" [1] page found in the Special:Maintenance section. -- Tom 09:42, 3 Dec 2004 (MST)

Revival

As you can see, I have revived this page, and am in the process of adding words commonly misspelled here from a larger list on Wikipedia. This has already proven useful; I have corrected spelling errors on dozens of pages throughout this wiki. In order for this page to succeed in the future, it should be linked somewhere close by to HRWiki:The Stick, perhaps in HRWiki:Cleanup. I would appreciate any ideas you have on this matter, as well as any other entries that could be placed on this list. —BazookaJoe 20:15, 18 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Strong Badia

I don't think this thing likes two-word "misspellings" as the Maintenance page shows several hundred listings for "Strong Badia", most of which do not contain that mistake. (I think it's searching for each word individually, and, of course, "Strong" appears on nearly every page here). Similarly, I think "the the" should be removed for the same reason. --Jay (Talk) 04:43, 19 Aug 2005 (UTC)

False Positives

"'till" turns up 3 pages, and "'till" is on none of them. - Qermaq - (^T/C)  05:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Reversion

Reverted to the previous version because someone removed "Strongbad: Strong Bad"

I'm not the one who did it, but would like to point out that the Strongbad search gives just over 50 results, all of which are either as spelt in e-mail or part of a picture link (as far as i can tell)

As far as I can see, Strong Bad is perfectly linked to from every page. No redirect is used. — Elcool ^(talk)_(contribs) 12:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Google

All the google links use "inurl:" This doesn't seem to work on google, and I'm sure that it uses "site:" So I'm gonna change all the links. The Joe^(Talk) 23:11, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
