FYI The number of hoops I had to jump through just to send a message to
Ubuntu (trying to help out) was surprising (with the slow and buggy
signup process).

I just clicked to join the wiki editors. But not being approved
immediately causes me to lose momentum in fixing this bug (and maybe I
forget to edit the wiki once I do finally get approved), and if you're
truly just going to ignore this bug report (thinking that only approved
wiki editors should handle this type of problem), your docs might stay
broken for a while.

You all might want to reconsider your strategy for keeping docs clean.
This interaction was already way more work than I anticipated.

But maybe you have high "barriers to entry" for reasons I don't know.

Title:
  Important typo in "How do I add a swap file?" instructions

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I was very confused why my swap file wasn't working after I followed
  instructions at
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#How_do_I_add_a_swap_file.3F

  The problem was that the instructions mostly say 1GiB but then also
  have a line (which I blindly copied-and-pasted) that said 4GiB
  instead.

  In the section "Example of making a swap file", this line needs to be
  fixed:

  $ echo '/mnt/4GiB.swap swap swap defaults 0 0' | sudo tee -a
  /etc/fstab
