Wikipedia communities in some languages developed automatic or semi-automatic tools to improve the quality of language or typography. Some examples are:
# The [Wikificator](https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Wikificator.js) tool in the Russian Wikipedia (similar tools exist in Ukrainian, Belarusian and possibly other Wikipedias)
# The [Checkty](https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Checkty.js) gadget in the Hebrew Wikipedia, a semi-automatic script for fixing common grammar mistakes, as well as another list of automatic replacements usually performed by a bot.
# The [orthography converter](https://he.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-nt.js) in the Belarusian-Taraškievica Wikipedia.
# [Extra edit buttons](https://fa.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-Extra-Editbuttons.js) in the Persian Wikipedia.
# ... and many other tools in other languages.
These tools are written as bots, gadgets or user scripts, and each project implements them in a different internal framework and with a different UI. It would be useful to unify at least some of these tools into a single internal framework - for example (but not necessarily) to store the replacement rules as a uniform JSON data structure rather than disparate JavaScript variables. Using external open source software, such as [LanguageTool](https://languagetool.org/), is acceptable as well, as long as the functionality that the different language communities are using is preserved. Finally, this framework should have a single interface that would be usable with both the wiki syntax source editor and the VisualEditor.
- Skills: JavaScript, regular expressions, data abstraction. Knowledge of the (human) languages in question is not required, but can be helpful.
- Suggested micro-task: Fix a bug related to a VisualEditor toolbar button.
