Inaccurate info on mod academy page
Before I start: I love the mod academy pages, so please don't see this as nit pick.
I found this little paragraph here that is slightly inaccurate.

There are two different permissions to set Nicknames:
- Change Nickname: allows a user to change their OWN nickname in a server
- Manage Nicknames: allows a user to change OTHER user's nicknames in a server.
In this particular context I got the impression that we are in fact talking about the "Manage Nicknames" permission that moderators can use to make sure other users nicknames are appropriate, however the paragraph says it's the "Change Nickname" permission.
Another note on the "Manage Nicknames" permission that I think was not brought to attention: this permission will allow a user to see the "Members" page in the server settings! This means that a user with the "Manage Nickname" permission that also has the "Kick user" permission will be able to perform a prune! This is not clear from the Academy page.
I stumbled over this mechanic tied to the "Manage Nicknames" permission when testing out permissions with Guybrush (Thank you my testing buddy) <3 .
For reference, the paragraph in question is found on this page of the mod academy:

Lots of love and a happy new Year!
