Forum:SH Archive/The Great Typo Hunt

Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

I don't know how many others do this, but the search feature is great for finding and eliminating typos. I've eliminated a handful, but a lot still remain.

Here's the idea. I'll list a typographical error, anybody can add to the list, and as soon as no articles contain that particular typo, it gets crossed out. Maybe this thread will die out in an hour, or maybe not. But as a suggestion, if you do find a typo, don't just fix it. Look to see if there are other instances, and if there are too many to fix, add it to the Hunt, and maybe other contributors can fix it in their spare time.

I guess we can also include the non-preferred British spellings here.
