Wikipedia:Spellchecking

Spellchecking software can be helpful when copyediting Wikipedia articles. This page explains how to use it well and avoid conflicts with other editors.

General advice:

  • Be sure to use the spelling for the correct dialect of a language (e.g., American English vs. British English).
  • No spellchecker is completely accurate.
  • Be extremely careful when editing pages written in languages in which you are not fluent.
  • Grammar-checking tools can introduce more errors than they appear to fix.
  • You are responsible for all spelling or grammar changes you make, even if the corrections were suggested by an error-checking tool.
