@patricedenis will you please use the manned.org link here?

@patricedenis: after we've applied all of the suggestions, let's rename this this page, the PR, and the commands from neighbour (British spelling) to neighbor (American spelling) because the command supports this and we tend to prefer American spelling because it's more standard, see #5221.

All right, that what I just ask before so I will do it as well.

I think I will commit all the suggestions and after that I will rebase the whole to have a clean "add page PR". It is better as I understood, am I right?

Really, it doesn't matter at all. Since we squash all of the commits into one just before merging, it will end up as one clean commit whether you yourself make a clean commit or messy commits. I recommend taking it easy and just committing as necessary, not bothering to rebase, because you can.

I tried to rename the branch and it closed the PR, is that normal?

Thanks again

I see, I'm not sure if you can do that; at any rate, this is a temporary branch and so the name matters little. You could even call it asdf1234 and it wouldn't matter 😉

Now wait, it looks like maybe neighbour (british) is correct!! Because there's no man page for ip-neighbor, just one for ip-neighbour

Maybe you should actually revert and go back to the British spelling... 🙂

@bl-ue I forgot to check that too, sorry. I just looked if ip neighbor worked - which it does.

[patricedenis]

I think @bl-ue is right because I couldn't find any ip neighbor page neither on my local man pages nor on the Web (manned.org, man7.org, ...).

Should we add a note to enlighten that ip neighbor is OK to use as well?

[bl-ue]

I don't really think so; they're so similar that pointing that might just be distracting.

Thank you, @patricedenis!
