Topic: Minor spelling mistake on the artist Aurru's page

Posted under General

The artist's DeviantArt is being displayed as devinatart on her artist page. Can anyone with permission change it? It's not that important but a mistake's a mistake.

My guy, you have the permission to change it; there's an Edit button on the top of the screen (inside the hamburger menu on mobile). I just tested with an alt account without any special permissions & fixed the broken list formatting, so feel free to edit Aurru's artist page to correct the error.

For future reference, unless you get an error message when attempting to edit something, it doesn't reflect your edit (e.g. locked tags will get restored when edited), you can edit most things on the site. Artist pages are just fancy wiki pages with some added info after all (e.g. here's Aurru's wiki page), & you can edit those too, unless a staff member actively locked them.

Btw, just 1 post would do fine next time. I'll assume it was an accident, just be careful in the future.

Sadly, i specifically can't see any edit button to click on artist pages, other pages like general tag pages are fine but i can't find one for artist page, is this issue only happening to me?
(Edit) Wait no actually i can only add details to empty pages, I can't access the edit button of non-empty pages like at all.

Actually I just happened to stumble across that while sorting through my fav artist list, the one who made that mistake isn't me btw.

Like I said, if you see a hamburger menu, then the Edit option is in there; it can scroll, so check the whole thing. If you don't see a hamburger menu, try scrolling the secondary navbar sideways (Shift + Scroll Wheel Up/Down) until you see Edit. If you have custom CSS, try removing it. If you are using re621 or another userscript, try disabling it.

Even when you are logged out, the last 4 items in the secondary navbar/hamburger menu options for this page should always be Posts (#), Show, Edit, & History, in that order. If you don't see those, you're looking in the wrong place or haven't scrolled all the way.

I never said you made the error you seek to correct.
