A misspelling magnet
The generator records 13 spelling variants around Wikipédia (IPA \wi.ki.pe.dja\), aproper noun. Corpus frequency is #10,612 among 549 “W” headwords. Wiktionary lists 4 senses, so context still picks the gloss.
Our generated misspelling index lists 13 likely wrong-spelling variants for Wikipédia, with forms such as "iwkipédia", "wiikpédia", and "wikipdéia". Every one of these variants traces to a single-character edit -- an added or dropped letter, a swapped consonant, or a vowel swap -- the kind of slip a spell-checker is built to catch. This entry stands alone in our confusable dataset, which usually means its spelling is distinct enough that readers don't reach for a similar-looking word instead.
No borrowing history is documented for this entry, so its spelling is easiest to reason about phoneme by phoneme, absent a documented history. The correct French form is Wikipédia, spelled W-I-K-I-P-É-D-I-A.

Avec le succès de l’encyclopédie collaborative en ligne Wikipédia, le wiki s’est popularisé. Si beaucoup de ceux qui fréquentent Wikipédia se contentent d’y puiser des informations, d’autres y participent en créant des entrées ou en modifiant des pages en les complétant ou les corrigeant.
En fait, Wikipédia est bien moins proche d’une encyclopédie du genre Universalis que de ces almanachs dont se délectaient petits et grands il n’y a pas si longtemps, et qui consistaient en une collection de données de fait instructives et intéressantes telles que la hauteur du Mont-Blanc, des recettes de détachants miracles ou des remèdes de bonne femme,…
