I have run into something that I can’t figure out, and I may be cluttering patrol pages with it. I start spell checking an article and I realize that the person who wrote it isn’t much of an English major. I click quick edit and begin fixing small spelling errors or grammatical errors, and then hit the publish button. I am then still spell checking the article as if it was never edited. Does this clutter the RC Patrols? And what should I do to fix this problem?

Hmmmm.

Indeed

You could talk to JackHerrick. I’ve never tried Spellcheck much, so I’m not familiar with this bug. I don’t think it clutters RC though. It could just be a slow computer.

How would I get in contact with JackHerrick?

Hey @KirbyKirb - wowie, with that subject title I thought there was disaster afoot! Don’t worry though - no harm done:slight_smile:The reason the Spellchecker asks you about those words even after you’ve done a Quick Edit is that the goal is to add “good” words to a whitelist so that after a certain number of votes that they’re actually correct, they won’t be re-checked on new articles in future. If you fix an error with a word after a Quick Edit and that word is still in the article, the fix will go through (like this and this ). But if you make changes on articles that you’ve already Quick Edited to exclude the given word, it won’t change things back, so no worries. If you’d rather skip after you’ve done a Quick Edit, you can just hit “Skip Article” and it’ll send you the next one instead:slight_smile:

Thank you @Anna , and sorry if I made you panic! xS Will me still going through and correcting words after my quick edit still cause two submissions for RC Patrol? That could become an issue I assume.

It’s not an issue if the fixes are good - it’s fine for good and helpful edits to go through RC! Anything that makes a page better, you shouldn’t worry about sending into RC:slight_smile:When there are multiple edits at the same time on an article, they can also be patrolled in a lump with one click, so it’s no more work than if it were done in one edit. Thanks for checking!
