poewiki-dict

This repository provides spell-checker dictionaries for Firefox and Chrome, specifically tailored for editing articles on poewiki.net.

Limitations

The spell-checker dictionaries in this repository are generated from CSpell dictionary files; by default, CSpell ignores words less than four characters long, and handles possessives ('s) automatically. By contrast, the spell-checkers in Firefox & Chrome ignore words less than three characters long, and do not handle possessives ('s) automatically.

(Also, Firefox & Chrome are case-sensitive, but I have addressed this by adding each word twice with alternating capitalization, with the exception of ALLCAPS words.)

Installation

Firefox

• Download persdict.dat
• Move/copy it to your profile directory. To quickly find your profile directory:
  • Type about:support into the browser's address bar,
  • Next to Profile Folder, click Open Folder.

Chrome

• Download Custom Dictionary.txt
• Move/copy it to your profile directory.
• Delete any existing Custom Dictionary.txt.backup file. (This is to stop Chrome trying to restore this file and overwriting your new file). To find your profile directory:
  • Type about:version into the browser's address bar,
  • Copy the text next to Profile Path:,
  • Paste this into an Explorer window or equivalent.
