Location

Go to this link or any of the links mentioned under the "Communities" subheading below.

You will see two paragraphs under their respective subheadings.

Under "How do I earn this ability?" subheading (Erroneous part has been bolded for the sake of this question):

To earn this ability, you need to have roughly 75% of your posts be positively received, with a minimum of 5 positively-recieved posts (these numbers may vary from site to site).

According to this Wiktionary page the correct spelling should be "received"

Communities

I haven't checked all sites but it appears to be there on Software Development, Meta Codidact, Cooking and Writing. Other sites may also have the same.

Thanks for spotting this. I've just checked and the typo is also present in the database seed that is used for setting up new communities, so it needs to be fixed there too to avoid this happening in future.

As the code is open source, anyone is free to make a pull request that fixes this.

The typo in existing communities can be fixed by someone with admin access. Mithical's comment points out that this can only be edited in the database seed. Once someone has made a pull request fixing the database seed, it can be applied to all communities to fix them all.

It's not a standard help center article - even with global admin access, I can't modify that page. It needs to be changed in the seeds and then updated by a DB admin.
