Wiktionary talk:Common misspellings

I think this page and relevant maintenance page will be useless - almost all possible permutations of letters will be acceptable some time in the future. Unless we separate languages and their maintenance scripts. But even though all the alien words (links to other languages) for a given language perhaps will spoil the list of results.

 * Yeah, I've looked at this and am inclined to agree. For now I've wikified the entries (using the replace function from MS Word), but the over 1,800 lines still need more personal attention.  I would also question just how "common" some of these errors are.  There are also many items on the list which are "typos", i.e. errors that are caused by mistyoing words that one knows perfectly well.  ("Mistyoing" is the preceeding sentence was an example of such an unintentional error; keeping it there was intentional to prove my point.)  These errors can happen anywhere in a word, and although some are indeed more common than others, they probably do not merit an entry.


 * To the extent that a remark is needed or useful it should probably appear on the page for the erroneous word, and again in the variants section for the correct word(s) where the fact that it is a misspelling would be noted. That being said, I'm inclined to treat this list as a sort of to-do list, where lines are removed whne it is determined that a particular error does not merit attention, or when it has been remarked at appropriate places.
