Name change: Muck Sponge -> Muckspunge

Looking in the Morrowind .esm files reveals that the plant is referred to as "muckspunge", never as "muck sponge". There is one single instance where the name "mucksponge" (one word) is used, in the shrineKummu script that displays the shrine's message ("Here in the Fields of Kummu, Vivec acted as a beast of burden for a poor famer who could not harvest mucksponge after his guar died.") However, given that the plant is referred to exclusively as "muckspunge" everywhere else in numerous dialogues and a journal entry, including the dialogue for the "Fields of Kummu" topic, I think it's safe to assume that the spelling in the shrine's message is erroneous. Therefore I have changed the name of the plant in the article to be consistent with in-game spelling. - Wolfborn ^(Howl) 20:56, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

D'oh! I hadn't spotted this before making the changes to a single word, but with the "o" instead of the "u". I'll go over what I did and change them all again, as needed. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 21:55, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Okay, all done. I did indeed change the file name, as you suggested on the file's talk page, just because it'll discourage any future misspellings. – Robin Hood  ^(talk) 22:03, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm not sure where this whole "muck sponge" thing came from given the in-game nomenclature, but it's nice to see this inaccuracy rectified. -- Wolfborn ^(Howl) 22:20, 15 August 2020 (UTC)
