A problem I have encountered is when you may want to go to the ‘Add words to whitelist’ dialog. However, if the list of words you want to add to the dictionary database is longer than the browser window e.g. the article ‘How to care for Orchids’, you can’t scroll up and down. Can that be fixed? PS: Also, the word wikiHow’s (usually in Related wikiHows) keeps cropping up in the dictionary. Is this intentional? What should be the correct usage?

Thanks for reporting this. When you see the issue, can you take a screenshot? On the second issue, do you mean with the apostrophe? And it’s being highlighted as a spelling error, or it keeps showing up in the list of words to whitelist?
It matters how the term wikiHow with the s is applied. The correct usage is “wikiHows” with NO apostrophe. THis isn’t the first time the PS has been mentioned before.
@Krystle
, whenever I used to use it, despite trying to add it to the whitelist, it still asked about that word day-after-day-after-day-after-etc.
Alright, when I find an example, I’ll take a screenshot Thank you for telling me the correct usage!

Correct. An apostrophe is not to be used because the correct usage is “Related wikiHows” not “Related wikiHow’s”. It is not showing ownership/is not acting as “wikiHow is”. We should still fix it though (example: “wikiHow’s articles”) #Jake_the_Grammar_Teacher
(I just made that up.)
Hmm…the word ‘wikiHows’ keeps on being flagged as an invalid word on the spellchecker tool

Unfortunately there is a bug in Spellchecker right now. We’re working on fixing it, but it’s proving difficult, and might not come right away. Although the backend has been having trouble adding your words to the whitelist, we are keeping a record of all words that get added. Once we get things fixed, we’ll be able to make sure all the missing words get added back in.
