Typo in registration form.
Hi,
During registration you're asked to fill in a CAPTCHA. Description for the image states "Upper/lowercase do not matter" while it should state "Upper/lowercase DOES not matter".
Cheers,

Should be acquired and exclusive
Thank you. I am not a native speaker so please forgive me. These were awful indeed ;-) I hope to have some "language bugsquash" soon but I am thankful for any report here!

Wow, people can compare the differeces of revisions of a single post here! No other forum engines have ever done this! So powerful this wiki!
On http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax a sentence starts "The Wiki Sytnax is used …"
On http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc14 there are two typos:
1. In the second column the third closing bracket is missing (that's probably why the link isn't active)
| [[[some page| custom text]]] | [[[some page| custom text]] | using custom text |
2. Here it should read "Documentation" instead of "Ducumentation"
| [[[doc|Documentation]]] | Ducumentation | linking to an existing page (different color) |
I noticed that those two typos above haven't yet been fixed and I'm wondering whether I could do it myself.
Can I? Do I have to somehow apply for editing rights?

You can't, because there is no edit button on http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax (at least I don't have or see one). In general, all of http://www.wikidot.com does not show an edit button (for me).
(I'm not a complete beginner — I'm running my own Wiki and have done tons of editing)
I finks Hartnell is playing with you..
Bad bad boy Hartnell. stop it.
Now go and hide in that corner and sulk for half an hour.
There, thats told him :))
Erich, I'm sorry to say that no one except the "Master" can edit these pages.
Us "admins" (that includes that naughty boy hartnell) have only got rights to attend to the "community" site.
I think scot and a few others would like to muck in with the spelling errors eradication as well.
It seems I can't directly reply to your post. I thought you were talking about the Handbook. Alas, the wikidot docs and the entire main wikidot site cannot be changed by anyone except Michal.
I'll include it in my weekly report (tomorrow).

http://www.wikidot.org/doc:wiki-syntax is now open for typo corrections.
I am just wondering now why a second version/clone has been released.
With the open source release, it sounds like anyone can get into the guts of the system and make these changes. Today I've wandered around in some of the source files, completely lost clearly out of my element.
If nothing else, my little tour has given me an even greater awe for what Michal has done here.
Is there some way to search the source code for these typos, identify their source, and make the updates? If I could just pinpoint the locations, I'd like to address the spelling and grammar issues without disturbing the runes, crystals and other magical items that surround them.
Any words of wisdom?
On http://www.wikidot.com/doc:wiki-syntax#toc14
In the section on anchors, the word anchor is spelled "anochor" at one point:
Anchors
To place an anchor use [[# anchor-name]] syntax. To refer to an anchor (and scroll to it) use [#anochor-name text to display].
The [#anochor-name text to display] typo is still here.
Isn't it a shame that those 30-seconds-to-repair things stay for months?
I'd volunteer to take care of any reported typos on www.wikidot.com if someone (Michal?) wants to give me editing rights.

Under "Options" » "Rename"
Rename/move page
The rename action will change the "unix name" of the page, i.e. the address via which the page is accesed accessed.
Attention should be also payed paid to the pages that depend on this one either by directly linking to it or by including it. Click below to see what pages depend on this one.
This one still needs fixing.

when deleting a file it says ' File has beed deleted' in stead of ' File has been deleted'
oh and in site management-> forum and discussion -> settings
Make sure you have a link somewhere to forum:start and posibly to forum:recent-posts but nothing else.

Good places are certainly nav:top or nav:side. An example code to copy&paste is given below:
