Uncorrectable typo in device name

Okay, it's apparent I messed up when originally creating my Acer Iconia W510 device page.

Acer Iconia W510 Repair - iFixit

I've managed to correct most of the places where the misspelling (Icona rather than Iconia) showed up, with one exception. On the editing page of the device page, you can see in both the title on the page and the filename it appears under in the URL, that misspelling persists and I can't seem to find any way to correct it. Here's a screenshot showing what I mean.

The misspellings are boxed in red, while the corrected title is seen in a green box. The other place it shows up is on any guide's Introduction page when editing, under the Device heading. I assume that this would go away once the previous issue has been addressed though.

Now I assume I can fix all this by deleting the whole freakin' page and starting over, but honestly, I'd rather not do that, 'mkay? Can I get one of the web developers to go in and change the file name and/or whatever metadata is hanging around causing the misspelling to keep showing up?

Thanks,
Jerry

Oops, I think we went the wrong direction. The proper spelling is "Iconia" with two "i"s, whereas I originally left out the second "i" in my misspelled device name.

I think the fix is to go into the file system and manually change the filename from "www.ifixit.com/Device/Acer_Icona_W510" to "www.ifixit.com/Device/Acer_Iconia_W510".

Thanks!

@dadibrokeit I have reverted the changes back to the last revision you made.

As far as the URL goes, I believe each devixe is assigned a URL at creation that cannot be changed. So one of the iFixit admins would have to change the URL.
