This page is for accepting user signatures, substituted templates and other patterns that cause Lint errors for MalnadachBot to fix. Anyone is welcome to add submissions.

The bot has approval from task 12 to fix any Lint error sitewide without needing BRFAs for individual patterns.

Bogus image options[edit]

"very-evil" image that shows only on October 31: 861 pages, often with multiple errors per page. Remove the first "p" after "15".

Misnested tag[edit]

  • User: (many; misnested or missing font tag errors listed across all namespaces)

14,000+ results (regex needs refinement to avoid false positives when a closing font tag is followed by text before brackets; this search has fewer false positives; 4,000+ results; this batch of 1,400 pages is slightly different)

Note: I have performed a search/sort/count of a partial list of these "font starts inside the brackets and ends outside the brackets" signatures. Here's a breakdown as of 2023-02-25:

"Other areas of Wikipedia" image array: 355 pages, with six stripped tr tags in each section


Obsolete tt & strike tags[edit]

<tt>...</tt> wrapping <nowiki>...</nowiki> when <code>...</code> wrapping <nowiki>...</nowiki> should be used instead: up to 11,600 pages. There may be false positives in there; a more refined search may be needed.


tt wrapping emoticons (replace with {{mono}}): 113 pages. There are no doubt more varieties of emoticons than appear in this search; a broader search finds 700 pages, with some likely false positives.


tt tags wrapping user signatures: 4,800 pages


Strike tags wrapping a single character (including strike tags embedded in signatures): 475 pages
Extending this to strike tags wrapping multiple characters gives >16,000 pages (times out), but this could include many unknown scenarios.


tt tags used in code example in some sort of substed editing advice: 220 pages. It looks like this: For example, instead of ''18mm'', use ''18 mm'', which when you are editing the page, should look like: <tt>18&nbsp;mm</tt>.


A signature that looks like <tt>[[User:Skagedal|skagedal]]</tt> 129 transclusions


[[User:Perhelion|<tt style= 26 pages might be more user using tt in their signature like this

Generalizing the above:
<tt style= returns 1,793 pages, some embedded in user signatures, some not

Empty tt tag pairs that can usually, but not always, be removed: 3,500 pages. Beware of tags within nowiki tags, or tags surrounded by bold or italic markup.


Missing end tags[edit]

User:C678: 150 pages

Another variation:
User:C678: 375 pages, missing an end span tag AND an end sup tag (for their talk page link). Zinnober9 (talk) 10:55, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
A more inclusive search finds 1,031 pages (and this 938-page result overlaps with the previous one; also these 189 pages and these 165 pages and these 101 pages)

<p style="clear: both; padding-top: 2em"> 

850 pages. This is present with no closing tag, and was used as a way to prevent overflow of content from above to whatever is below. {{clear}} is the modern version. Replace with {{clear}}. Some instances have a trailing /p tag that does nothing and should probably generate a Linter error but does not.

The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: [[WP:LINKSPAM|adding inappropriate external links]], [[WP:Spam|posting advertisements]], and [[WP:PROMOTION|using Wikipedia for promotion]]. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. ''In addition'', usernames like yours are disallowed under our [[WP:ORGNAME|username policy]].

;Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not.  See [[WP:FAQ/Organizations]] for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the [[WP:Conflict of interest|conflict of interest guidance]] to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using [[WP:OUT|one of the many websites]] that allow this instead.

;What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using [[WP:Alternative outlets|one of the many websites]] that allow this instead. 
 
<p>
 
If you ''do'' intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a [[WP:ADMIN|Wikipedia administrator]] that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

*Add the text <!-- Copy the text as it appears on your page, not as it appears in this edit area. Do not include the "tlx" argument. -->{{tlx|unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on [[Special:MyTalk|your user talk page]].
*Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See [[Special:Listusers]] to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our [[WP:U|username policy]].
*Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
:*Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
:*Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may [[Wikipedia:Appealing a block|appeal this block]] by adding the text <!-- Copy the text as it appears on your page, not as it appears in this edit area. Do not include the "tlx" argument. -->{{tlx|unblock|Your reason here}} below but you should read the [[Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks|guide to appealing blocks]] first. </div>

Obsolete center tags[edit]

Galleries

Many pages with picture galleries are prefixed with a center tag.

This is a typical configuration, with zero or more gallery parameters (over 330 pages):

<center><gallery "param1" "param2" ...>
Files ...
</gallery></center>

Another configuration is (over 500 pages):

<center>
<gallery "param1" "param2" ...>
Files ...
</gallery>
</center>

Other configurations could include:

Note that the gallery parameter class="center" won't work if "perrow" is used (see Help:Gallery tag#Center).

I don't know how easy this would be to automate. Finding the closing center tag may be a little tricky. —Bruce1eetalk 13:53, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I think this will need a supervised run. Will keep this for later. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 14:41, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

And much more in a similar vein....


Centered images: 5,800 pages with code like:

<center>[[File:Giuseppe Conte 2019 Official.jpg|80px]]</center>

and 1,500 pages using Image:, like this:

<center>[[Image:Hormone_hierarchy.jpeg|800px]]</center>

These tags can be replaced by |center inside the brackets, unless |center is already present, in which case the tags can be removed. There are probably other degenerate cases, like if |left or |right or |none are present, which should probably be skipped and left for humans to fix.


center tag wrapping the unnamed parameter of {{Archive box}}: 81 pages; {{center|1=<nowiki/>...}} appears to be the only replacement that works reliably; this may need a supervised run to ensure that the contents of the unnamed parameter do not disappear from the rendered page


Empty center tags (remove except where wrapped in nowiki or other demonstration markup): 540 pages


Center tags wrapping (or partially wrapping with missing end tag) a table of images (15–20 errors per table): 100+ pages


Invalid font tags[edit]

This section is for font tags with invalid formatting that is unlikely to be found and replaced using normal regular expressions. This includes font tags using attributes other than "color", "face", or "size". Note that "font id=foo" works as an anchor like "span id=foo" and was apparently valid HTML, so those might need to be converted to span tags.


User:Eupator: 90 pages, invalid hex code in font color


font color with seven or more hex characters in the color string: 400 pages, but the search times out. There are probably more.


font color with non-hex characters in an apparent color specification (in the second through penultimate character): 289 pages, but the search times out. There are probably more.

Related: font color with non-hex characters in an apparent color specification (in the final character): 14 pages, probably more.


Invalid tag <font-family>: 41 pages; search times out


Invalid tag <font family=...> (instead of "face"): 2,700 pages or more


Invalid attribute in font tag (does not start with "c", "i", "s", or "f" for "color", "id", "style", or "face"; this search could be better), or newline after "font" within tag: 800+ pages


Closing font tags with "face=", which bot regexes might not be detecting: 94 pages


Closing font tags with "color=", which bot regexes might not be detecting: 500+ pages


Invalid <font=3>: 697 pages


Invalid <font color=font color=: 64 pages
