Maybe an idea for adding more rules ?

Hello,

Here a list of rules that another automatic tool (AutoWikiBrowser) is using in the french wikipedia
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:AutoWikiBrowser/Typos

I hope this help ;)

I think the related question is : in the future could the user adds his/her own rules/suggestions to the tool ?

It is already possible to add your own rules and suggestions ; but it should be done through LanguageTool. Here is a guide to do it : http://wiki.languagetool.org/tips-and-tricks#toc8

Once the rule has been added to LanguageTool, it may take some time before you see it being used in Wiper, for several reasons :

1. The official LanguageTool repository is only merged into the modified LanguageTool variant that Wiper uses when a stable version is released (around every 3 months)
2. It may take some time for the new rule to actually be used on newly retrieved Wikipedia articles.

The reason behind adding a rule in LanguageTool instead of directly in Wiper is about efficiency and stability : grammar and spelling have a complexity that I much prefer to be handled by a robust and frequently updated software such as LanguageTool, rather than by Wiper which is just a gateway between Wikipedia and LanguageTool.
