Proposed bodged semi-automated way of fixing typos on WP:Typo Team/moss

1. Install AutoHotKey.
2. Install JWB.
3. Create a script that will do the functions stated below.
4. Using a key binding, start the session. This will open a new window of a browser (Firefox) to the moss main page, identify the "quick link", open it, press "edit source" and copy and paste the text into a local file. It will then open Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Script in a new tab, click the "Generate" button under Page list. It will then do the following:

1. Tick "Links on page" and enter "Wikipedia:Typo Team/moss/I", then click "Generate".
2. Under the editing tab, fill in an appropriate edit summary.
3. Using a python program, create a regex page of the misspelling listing.
4. Copy and paste the text in the regex page and paste it in the "Replace:" text box.
5. Enter "lfixl" (or some placeholder word) into the "Replace with:" text box.
6. Check the "Regular Expression" checkbox.
7. Click "More replace fields" and enter the same rule a few more times (for some reason, each rule only appears to work on one instance of a typo on a page).

1. Press a binded key to start. The script will record the name of the first article. Make an autohotkey script that automatically presses Ctrl+F "lfixl" or your placeholder word to find it in the editing window. Using the script, bind a button to automatically press next on the Ctrl-F and highlight the word. Look at the left diff to figure out what the typo was.

• For genuine typos, replace the placeholder word with the corrected word. Click "save" and repeat.
• For false positives, press a binded key that will cause the script to skip the typo, and record the false positive.
• To skip, press a binded key that will cause the script to skip the typo/page.

1. To end the session, press a binded key that will

1. Close JWB.
2. From the copied text of the page, identify which pages have been fixed and remove them.
3. Identify which pages contain false positives, append a comment to that line, remove that line and then append it to case notes.
4. Paste the new text of the typo list into the editing window and save the page.

New way to fix TSDOT and TSCOMMA typos

Simply create a new find and replace regex list using the typo list already provided on the misspelling list. Method 1: (word|asda|sdad).(dgdfg|gdfgfdg|fgdfg) -> $1. $2. Method 2: Individual find and replace rules for each typo. Method 1 will produce more false positives but method 2 requires the importing of a new find and replace regex document thing.
