The SpellingDictionary extension is a collaborative dictionary that can be used for checking spellings of the words of different languages.

Installation

• Download and move the extracted SpellingDictionary folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SpellingDictionary
• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'SpellingDictionary' );
  

• Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
•  Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

User rights

This extension adds a new user right, spelladmin (which allows editing/deleting user-posted spellings).

By default, everyone, even anonymous users, can add spellings.

Only users in the spelladmin group can delete spellings.
