Spell checking

Hi. I would like to run a supervised spell checking script (I will manually confirm each edit.) to correct typos on this wiki such as this edit. Is it OK? Do I need to create a new bot account or can I run the script under my current account? Edit rate is expected to be low. (4 to 5 edits per minute.) --Meno25 (talk) 12:31, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Meno25, thanks for your work so far! I'm not sure that running the spell checking script on letters or personal pieces of work is the best idea, but it would be a good idea for the generic information pages, such as the FAQ (although that's currently being worked on, so I wouldn't do it on that one yet), Our projects etc. Any of the Resolutions probably shouldn't be touched, and the same would apply for donation pages - do you have a list of pages in mind that you would run the script on, or was this intended to be for the whole wiki? With regards to using a new bot account, I don't believe we use bot accounts here, but I'll leave that to someone else to comment on. Thehelpfulone 19:19, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
