The original wiki is here[1].  I converted by copying the wiki source
into a .wiki file and convert to rST using `pandoc`:

    $ pandoc -f Mediawiki -t rst spell-check.wiki -o spell-check.rst

As part of this rST converstion, I've removed the dated and `codespell`
invocations, and linked to the GitHub repo.  And cleaned up a couple of
external URLs.

+Spell Check
+===========
+
+QEMU uses British or American English in code and documentation. There
+are some typical spelling bugs which can be easily avoided by using
+tools like ``codespell``.
+
+`codespell <https://github.com/codespell-project/codespell>`__ is a
+Python script which detects (and optionally fixes) the most common
+spelling bugs.  It is packaged for most common Linux distributions.
