StrategyWiki:Cleanup project/Misspellings

This is a list of common spelling mistakes found on StrategyWiki, and their appropriate corrections. If you have any free time, feel free to perform a search for any of these spelling mistakes and correct any occurrences you find, spell-checking the rest of each page you correct as well.

Before making the change, try to verify that the word is not correctly spelled. In some cases, the incorrect spelling may appear in-game and should not be changed, while other cases may involve a regional spelling difference.
