Digital misprints[]

How should the Wiki treat designed-for-digital card misprints and their corrections? Does it get added on to the rebalanced card list as a change or should it have its own thing? I know normal misprints (e.g. Serendib Efreet (Revised Edition)) don't usually get any mentions outside of the Misprint section of their respective set article. Is this a situation where we treat it similarly?

I'm putting this question here because it's a bit more broad than just the one example we have.

Speaking of; on its initial release Foundry Groundbreaker had the type line "Creature — Artificer". Given every Artificer in The Brothers' War and every other Artificer in Alchemy: The Brothers' War is Human, people noted immediately that it was odd and likely a mistake.

It looks like the Arena team agreed because it's now been updated to "Creature — Human Artificer". The fact that the change to Human is not mentioned in either the Patch Notes or the update announcements leads me to believe it was a mistake that they've corrected, rather than a traditional 'rebalance'. -- RivalRowan (talk) 23:21, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

We now have a second example with Outfitted Jouster. It was released as "Creature — Knight" but has now been updated to "Creature — Human Knight". This one got a mention in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan patch notes though. -- RivalRowan (talk) 03:10, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
I think these can be mentioned in the relevant Alchemy pages as misprints, I don't see them as a rebalance --Hunterofsalvation (talk) 07:31, 30 November 2023 (UTC)
