How does one fix (or report an error) on an 'immutable' help.ubuntu.community wiki page? I am a registered member of the wiki.

On http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX under the section: Installing the FreeNX server on Ubuntu Karmic (9.10) and higher, step #2, bjorn-nostvold erroneously changed on 2013-01-24 "add-apt-repository" to "apt-add-repository".

The original "add-apt-repository" is correct - at least on my Karmic (9.10) version of Ubuntu.

By the number of confused people I've found via google search, this seems to be throwing off a lot of people, myself included.
