CommonTypos is a user-fix that you can use with the replace.py script. It corrects for some misspelled words. As of right now it can only fix around 90 of the most common misspellings that I could think of. Feel free to add more!
CommonTypos should always be run in manual mode! Although it has been tested several times at the Doctor Who Answers Wikia. It could still occasionally make a mistake.
NOTE: Be sure to change the line:
'en':u'Correcting misspelled words. Report problems [[User_talk:BOTUSERNAME|here]].'
So that it says your bot's username instead of BOTUSERNAME!
