I've noticed there is a recurrent spelling problem on the DD-WRT wiki, and I was hoping to batch correct the obvious spelling errors on this page in particular: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Port_Forwarding

Someone should run a blanket wipe on the entire Wiki looking for spelling mistakes for these words:

"asside" should be spelled "aside"
"recieving" should be spelled "receiving" with an "ei"
"recieve" -> "receive"
"recieved" -> "received"
"recieves" -> "receives"

Normally these wouldn't matter if they were single occurrences, and if DD-WRT wasn't a popular professional site, but since it is, I'm pointing it out.

Thanks.

I have corrected the errors now.
Be aware that the wiki is a user contribution and not all users have English as their native language.
I do, for that reason, use a chell specker plagin which takes care of most errors but it can still not distinguish between its and it's or loose and lose. Sad

I used, and continue to use, the Glossary when I don't understand a networking/router term. It's very helpful, but a lot of acronyms used commonly here aren't in the Wiki. A concise definition is usually available at Wikipedia.org.
Can I submit a list of suggestions, or should I make the additions myself?

Also, I don't remember how I stumbled into the Glossary; it isn't very easy to find in the FAQ page. I'd vote for making it a prominent link on the FAQ page or above.

I'm still clueless how to do that. I don't use forums alot. I did look at most of the links around the forum, and I found a "Shop Customers" group, but I just see a list there. Am I supposed to send a message to BrainSlayer?

Sorry for the inconvenience.

You'd need to go to the main site..

http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/index

Then click on the Shop related tab, in there should be another tab in which you can contact the shop team.
