:::The clue was that span tags were suddenly having block content inserted into them, when they were fine before. That is almost always caused by unmodified XFD templates being transcluded. I put {{para|type|inline}} into both XFD'd pages that were transcluded there, and that seems to have solved the problem, even with the original syntax in place. – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:16, 12 November 2022 (UTC)

{{cob}} May 1973
- Actually, the vast majority of "months of the 1970s", and months articles in general, were written in the past tense, as seen with the 1900s through the 1960s and the ones for 1970, 1971, 1972, 1975, 1976, and 1979. While the "years" articles do use present tense, those consist mostly of headline style entries; they're generally unsourced, and often are more for "fun". We're working to add more content, with citations to sources, and May 1973 hadn't had much work done on it until recently. For the sake of consistency with the rest of hundreds of articles in this project in general, you can expect that the past tense will be used as the information from daily newspapers is added. To the extent that you have taken out non-verifiable or questionable sources, your contribution is appreciated. Best wishes to you for happy holidays and a prosperous new year ahead.

Uhhh Hi?Hi there. First off, confused why you changed something from my sandbox, even though it was helpful, that's a given. Second off, what's the actual difference between adding a slash or not ( to )? NewDealChief (talk) 10:20, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
:NewDealChief: Your sandbox page was listed at Lint errors: Multiple unclosed formatting tags. A substantial group of Wikipedians are working to fix Lint Errors. It is considered acceptable to edit user pages, user talk pages, and sandbox pages to fix lint errors, unless the owner asks you not to, but even if the owner ask you not to, someone else is likely to come along and fix it anyway. Most HTML and Wiki tags come in pairs, with an opening tag, such as {{tag|small|o}} and a corresponding closing tag ({{tag|small|c}}). The slash is at the beginning of a closing tag. A slash at the end of a tag is a self-closed tag. A self-closed tag is a tag that opens and closes in one operation. This is usually an error, but it is allowed for tags such as
:: Markup: Here is some small text and this is even smaller. Hah!
:: Display: Here is some small text and this is even smaller. Hah!
:When the markup has two {{tag|small|o}} tags without a closing tag, two things happen. First, the linter detects a Multiple unclosed formatting tags lint error, and second, the page displays with a leak that may go all the way to the end of the page, unless the two tags are contained within a table or div tags or perhaps some other markup that limits the scope of the leak. On your page, the leak was contained within the table cell that displayed "(Replacing Ezra Taft Benson)", so, effectively there was no leak, but there would have been if there had been anything in the table cell after the second {{tag|small|o}} tag, or if the {{tag|small|o}} tags weren't so contained. I hope this explains everything. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 22:29, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
::Oh wow, I never knew. Thanks for the info! NewDealChief (talk) 01:20, 21 March 2023 (UTC) Perhaps you could look at this article (Women in Red Project)@Anomalocaris Hi Anomalocaris, in April you made a comment on this article, leaving a flag there: "Comment: links with "publishing date" are messed up.

Since that week I made the changes correcting what you pointed out - I was helped by Editors who collaborate with Women in Red Project discussions, both in what you pointed and in other issues of the article, and the errors were all corrected, we made style revisions in the narrative, references etc. I believe it's been ok since then. Some experienced editors have agreed it's fine, but they can't move the article, as far as I understand. I would like to ask you to look at it now and if you agree, remove your comment and especially, if it is possible for you, move this article to the main space. I ask this because it has been some time that the article is in Draft, I had numerous discussions and help with about 8 Senior Editors who contributed much to the final result (talks on the page of Women in Red and other pages Usertalk), but no one with prerogatives to move the article to the main space has manifested with me.

SportsGuy789 ( talk) 23:08, 27 June 2023 (UTC) Piping italicsOnly a minor point, but wanted to bring it to your notice that at Draft:Don Peake for Love Tracks, you changed my style of having italics within the wikilink, to outside of the wikilink. Anyone should be able to format it as per their preference when they create the piped wikilink, but changing from one format to another is not really productive. In this particular case, since you made a lot more format changes in the same edit, I can understand it was a bulk change. Again, not a concern, but something to keep in mind.
I see you are a veteran editor. Keep up the good work and take care. Jay 💬 13:49, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
:{{U|Jay}}: The italics started outside the square brackets and ended inside the brackets; this is invalid formatting. You can either have the italics outside the brackets or inside the brackets (in the second part of the wikilink after the pipe), but not one of each. For example, Link text is invalid, but Link text or Link text is fine. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:29, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
::Yes, I was referring to the last type, which is how I had done. See the diff for Love Tracks above Line 36. Jay 💬 15:38, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
:{{U|Jay}}: Yes, I did change Love Tracks to Love Tracks, which I would not have done if italics in wikilinks had been marked up correctly and consistently throughout the page. But since italics with wikilinks were bollixed elsewhere, I standardized on italics outside the link. This is also consistent with quotation marks outside the link, which also appears on this page. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 19:14, 3 July 2023 (UTC)
::Sorry to drag this some more, but what you're saying doesn't seem to match what I'm seeing. There was one piped link with italics outside the link, one piped link with italics inside the link (mine), and two piped links with italics half outside and half inside. So if you are saying you went with the first proper style that was initially present in the page, I can understand. On quotation marks for the piped links, there was only one (mine for "If I Were a Carpenter"), which was inside the link. Jay 💬 04:54, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
::: {{U|Jay}}: Inserted a d just now in the word standardized in my previous comment. Again, "I standardized on italics outside the link." Wikipedia style for quotes and external links is that article titles or page titles are in quotes and the quotes are part of the external link. Cite templates do this automatically, viz:
:::: {{cite news |author=Journalist |title=story |publisher=newsgatherer |date=July 3, 2023 |url=http://newsgatherer.com/story}} : {{cite news |author=Journalist |title=story |publisher=newsgatherer |date=July 3, 2023 |url=http://newsgatherer.com/story}}
::: However, Wikipedia style for quotes and internal links (wikilinks) is that the quotes are outside the link. It has to be that way. Otherwise, the markup for
:::: They sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" over and over until they had it right.
::: would require a piped link. —Anomalocaris (talk) 05:15, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
::::Can you point me to the style for quotes in piped links? If my style is incorrect, I won't use it again. Jay 💬 05:59, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
::::: {{U|Jay}}: MOS:DISCOGRAPHY discusses styling for albums, without getting into the nitty-gritty of styling for singles. But it still provides guidance, saying, "A few examples of acceptable formatting styles, using the discography of Sloan (band):" That implies that Sloan (band) can be used as a model for styling singles. And in that article, we find several music singles in quotes with the quotes outside the wikilink, and none with the quotes inside the wikilink. I would guess that the reason MOS:DISCOGRAPHY, and for that matter, MOS:QUOTEMARKS, doesn't explicitly say "Put quotation marks outside wikilinks" is it's just never been an issue in Wikipedia, at least until now. You won't find articles with markup like
:::::: They sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" over and over until they had it right. : They sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" over and over until they had it right.
::::: Look around Wikipedia. I am confident that less than 1% of song wikilinks are piped to put quotes inside. —Anomalocaris (talk) 06:41, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::I'm all for consistency. I felt having double-quotes inside the link was consistent with having two single-quotes (italics) inside the link. I wouldn't consider highly of using Sloan (band) as a reference because it has just one piped link with quotes (which is outside), and which was added in 2011, whereas the Discographies manual has been referencing Sloan (band) from 2007. If we're going for quotes outside the link style, let us formalize it in the MOS with a reasoning. Jay 💬 07:12, 4 July 2023 (UTC)
::::::: {{U|Jay}}: The Beatles has numerous songs in quoted wikilinks, including "Love Me Do", "Please Please Me" and "P.S. I Love You". This article has no songs with quotes inside the wikilink. Frank Sinatra has numerous songs in quoted wikilinks, including "My Way", "Our Love" and "Polka Dots and Moonbeams". This article has no songs with quotes inside the wikilink. Irving Berlin has numerous songs in quoted wikilinks, including "Alexander's Ragtime Band", "Easter Parade" and "Puttin' on the Ritz". This article has no songs with quotes inside the wikilink. Joan Baez has numerous songs in quoted wikilinks, including "Diamonds & Rust", "There but for Fortune" and "We Shall Overcome". This article has no songs with quotes inside the wikilink. These are just the first four articles I thought of checking. Again, I am confident that less than 1% of song wikilinks are piped to put quotes inside. I agree with you that Sloan (band) might not be the best model to be mentioned in the Manual of Style, and you are correct that it has only one piped link with quotes, viz: "Unkind". But it has numerous singles links that could have been piped to put the quotes inside if that were the standard. They aren't piped to put in the quotes because that is not how we do it in Wikipedia, as evidenced by just about every article you can think of that includes quoted wikilinked song titles. There is no need to modify the Manual of Style because it never comes up. Nobody does this.
::::::: Wikipedia:Avoid instruction creep discourages defining rules for every possible mistake. As far as I know, you are the only editor who thought putting quotes inside song wikilinks is a good idea.

I'm writing w.r.t this edit here (which I've already amended with the recommended markup). Aside from looking nicer, {{tag|syntaxhighlight|o}} tags automatically escape any embedded wiki markup, which obviates the need for {{tag|nowiki|o}} when the code in question happens to be Wikitext. Just an FYI in case it helps you in future. :)

I notice that on September 27, you made quite a few edits to user talk pages and the like, to fix a duplicate thumb in images ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:SportingFlyer&diff=prev&oldid=1177468348 example]). (Including on to my user talk page, which is how I noticed.)
Those edits are cosmetic edits and as such should not be done on their own because they clutter page histories. See WP:COSMETICBOT. Given your rate of editing, I am convinced you are doing those fixes by hand (rather than running an unapproved bot) but still: {{tq|While this policy applies only to bots, human editors should also follow this guidance if making such changes in a bot-like manner.}}
I would be especially wary of doing this on user talk pages, which gives the users in question a big red notification that "Anomalocaris has left a message on your talk page" (but there is no such "message" to be found without looking at the page history).

:DB1729: Yes, {{tlc|tq}} can't span multiple paragraphs—techically, it can's span a block or more than a block. Anything indented is a block, so it can't wrap lines that begin with colon, asterisk or number sign. It may look OK, but it still generates misnested tags for {{tag|q}}. The documentation at Template:Talk quote inline says
::For block quotations on talk pages that break onto their own line, or contain paragraph breaks, editors can use {{tlx|talk quote block}} instead.

What is the motivation for adding quotation marks for [ ]? Thanks, --Smokefoot (talk) 21:02, 4 September 2024 (UTC)
:Smokefoot: WP:REFNAME, taking its content from Template:Refname rules, says,
::Quotation marks are preferred but optional if the only characters used are letters A–Z, a–z, digits 0–9, and the symbols !$%&()*,-.:;<@[]^_`{|}~.
:I believe the original primary reason the quotation marks are preferred where they are optional is that the Wikimedia software processes things slightly faster with the quotation marks. But from my perspective, it's preferred because it's easier for editors to deal with ref names if they are all done the same way, in quotation marks. Let's say, for example, that an article has a reference to a 2020 study by Jones, coded as editing sandboxHi there,
You made a recent edit on my sandbox. Firstly, thanks for making the tables compliant with correct formatting. I guess I got lazy with closing bold quotation symbols as I was making lots of tables to see which actually looked best - they potentially will never see an actual published article.
Just wondering why and how you came across a sandbox of all places to edit? Especially considering they may never be published. Do you run scripts or something to alert. Genuinely interested as to how this all came about.
Again, thanks for the edit - it will be useful in case I bring those tables across to published articles so that they are in a complete state. Also, you don't happen to have any experience with creating templates do you? Eccy89 (talk) 14:22, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
{{Outdent}}
Eccy89: For the past several years, I have edited a lot of Wikipedia articles to fix Lint errors. Before I worked on it, your page User:Eccy89/sandbox2 showed up with at least one fostered content error. In a table, everything has to be in a cell, so, if there is something in the markup between the table start and the table end that is displayable but isn't in a table cell, it is considered fostered content, and it displays above the table. Fostered content is sometimes caused by careless markup like this:
| This one-celled table is missing a pipe character in column one that would turn the rest of this line into a table cell |
And sometimes it's caused by forgetting to close an otherwise valid table:
| Here's a table that has only one cell | | This is supposed to be after the table but somebody forgot the closing |
, so we're still in the table and this is fostered content
Once I started editing your page, I saw the problem with the {{tag|small}} tags, and I kept going from there. I consider it worth spending time fixing lint errors in sandboxes because it helps create awareness about good and bad markup. Sorry, I don't know much about creating templates. I can create a template that's just a block to include in an article, but I don't know how to write templates that take parameters. —Anomalocaris (talk) 19:28, 19 September 2024 (UTC)

The only thing I can think is that somehow 5 apostrophes interacts with Takashi Miike template on each of these articles.
I'm going to change the redirect Kuime page to redirect strictly to the Film, placing a note in its talk page, and place a link at the top for those looking for the Japanese book. After which I will self revert my edits so those other articles can have their proper font back. RCSCott91 (talk) 21:33, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
:@Anomalocaris The disambiguous links have been resolved and I reverted the changes. I apologize for alarming you.
:I was trying to make those changes quickly to find out which page or article was causing it. I'm going to leave a note at Takashi Miike template talk page, hopefully someone smarter than me can find out why the presence of a redirect page going to a disambiguation page where one of the articles linked on that disambiguation page has that template: it causes all other articles with that same template to link to the disambiguation page.

::This was about Black Society trilogy, which I edited to restore two apostrophes for opening bold italics. Now I edited Over Your Dead Body (film) to fix the hatnote. —Anomalocaris (talk) 23:41, 21 October 2024 (UTC)
:::Thank you. I just made that same edit for the "Over Your Dead Body (novel)" article. RCSCott91 (talk) 02:02, 22 October 2024 (UTC) Draft: False or misleading statements by Bob DylanAnomalocaris:
Thank you for the page tweaks.
Is the page being reviewed by someone else for whether it gets published?
Hoping it "sees the light of day."
Thanks again.

UsurpationPlease, stop your decades-long campaign to delete {{para|url-status|usurped}} from citations. This is one of the worst things I have read all week. I have spent years repairing usurped domains. Detailed at WP:JUDI. The flag has a purpose, it exists for a reason. Try: https://bcsportshalloffame.com/ .. it is a usurped domain. Every instance on wikipedia needs to have {{para|url-status|usurped}} .. there are over 700 domains like that. And that's just for Asian gambling sites. It doesn't include all the other usurped domains. If you don't understand how the system works, ask for help, but don't undo things you don't understand. -- GreenC 02:40, 15 November 2024 (UTC)

now can you help me to finally published it? because I have no idea, I don't know how to do... Can you do it for me?
pleeeeease. Thea20071 (talk) 13:11, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
:Thea20071: I edited Draft:Gian Maria Aliberti Gerbotto on 4 December 2024. In that edit, I inserted a comment saying, "Please see {{Tlx|MedalTableTop}} for usage instructions. I inserted the required missing {{para|medals}} parameter, not necessarily the right way, and there are several parameters used here that don't belong." Please follow that advice. I also lot of {{para|title|...}} in cite templates. I thought this would make it really obvious that these references need titles. As it happens, on 5 January 2025, Citation bot edited the article and stripped out my inserted {{para|title|...}}. But the need is still there. Every reference needs a title. Click the link and copy as much info as you can from the web page, including author, date, and title. If the link no longer goes to a valid web page, then find an archive URL at http://archive.org/, or find a link to a working reference, or remove the bad link altogether. These are some things that you should do to improve the quality of the article. —Anomalocaris (talk) 01:53, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
::perfect. thanks very much. I will do it... see you soon. Thea20071 (talk) 13:44, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
::My dear, I followed your suggestions doing my best, as best I could, also keeping in mind that these are the first times I've moved to Wikipedia.
::I proceeded to remove all "Title" links to external internet sites that no longer exist, replacing them with new and functioning links. but I was unable to remove the red annotations "{{cite web}}: Missing or empty |title= (help)" made by the correction of the bot into edit source, I think. Can you please delete them? I'm not capable of it.
::A thousand thanks.
::Then, having made these corrections, I think my draft is ready for publication, right? And can you please give me a hand in this regard, since I have no idea how to then transform a draft into a public article on Wikipedia? I thank you again for the invaluable help you are giving me in this first project of mine.
::Afterwards I promise that I will try to learn better and then proceed independently without disturbing you too much. Thea20071 (talk) 13:25, 11 January 2025 (UTC)
:::Thea20071: I edited the draft again, improving a few references with author, title, date, publisher, newspaper, access-date. Also, period and comma go before, not after, {{tag|ref}}. These changes can be a model for the work you should do on this draft. Again, references with cite templates need titles. I edit Wikipedia pages, and I give advice, but I do not have a role in approving drafts to become articles.

I added each book's page rages as you noted. Cheers Bagnacan (talk) 22:14, 2 February 2025 (UTC) Cleveland-Cliffs@Anomalocaris Thanks for repairing the faulty citation in the Cleveland-Cliffs article. I added the new content to make the paragraph more relevant to the article. The way it existed just popped in out of the blue, with little context. I rewrote it to reflect that Gonclaves was speaking at a press conference on the purchase of US Steel. He did say (and I left it in) those remarks that Japan was evil and worse than China. His reference to “not learning anything since 1945” was that Japan had not learned “…anything since 1945. You did not learn how good we are, how gracious we are, how magnanimous we are, how forgiving we are." Which I condensed to “American benevolence.” The “crusty” comments of the CEO need to relate to the context of the article in an encyclopedic way, not just showing up like a tabloid headline. If you have some suggestions on how that might be accomplished, I’d be grateful for them. Hamish barebones (talk) 19:59, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
:Hamish barebones: I don't have any ideas about this. If you are satisfied that there's nothing in the commented out paragraph that you want to put back in, I suggest removing the commented out paragraph. —Anomalocaris (talk) 21:18, 4 February 2025 (UTC)
::Anomalocaris: Thanks for all your help on this. I'm not certain what you mean by a "commented out" paragraph. A little more help please. Thanks in advance. Hamish barebones (talk) 19:31, 12 February 2025 (UTC)
