Proposed new rule, effective with Round 2, turn B
I propose that starting with turn 2B, we allow a user to expand an existing article starting with the correct letter rather than writing a new article. Expansion means that new facts can be added, though they may not contradict existing facts either in the same article or in other articles, as usual; it is distinct from normal mad-editing, where no new facts may be introduced.
- Anyone may expand an article, including the original author.
- Expansion is dibbed for, and excludes dibbing for a new article.
- No new citations may be added.
- The expander's byline is placed under the original author's.

I thought there already were rules for editing old articles, weren't there? --Dfaran L'Eniarc 17:30, 25 May 2005 (EDT)

I finally got around to setting up a form of spellchecking. In the sidebar "toolbox", you'll see a new "Fix misspellings" link (or you will when your cache updates), which'll show every page that has a misspelling as determined by this gigantar list. The syntax of that page is simply "incorrect (correct)", and you're more than welcome to add or modify it. There are only a few Ghyll-words; one example is "Thunderbarg (Thungerbarg)". Unfortunately, this spellchecking is not interactive... you'll always have to go to the "Fix misspellings" page to see any errors made. --Morbus Iff 10:56, 29 Apr 2005 (EDT)
