I generally deal with technical issues around WP:V, one day I hope to upgrade Wikipedia's perceived reliability from meme worthy to just unreliable.


'Should' is not 'Must'.


If I've made a comment, and it appears backwards to a previous comment I've made or doesn't quite make sense, then it's likely I've missed "n't" or "not" somewhere. No I don't know why I do that.


If I corrected an error that you couldn't see any error message for, you need to turn these error messages on as detailed in :Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.

__NOTOC__

Stuff to remember

{{tl|harvc}}, {{tl|Db-r2}}, {{tl|Copyvio-revdel}}, MOS:SANDWICH, MOS:IMGSIZE, MOS:SECTIONLOC, MOS:CURLY, WP:PAREN, MOS:ORDER, WP:CS:EMBED, Module:Footnotes/whitelist, LTA Sony Esau Mbisikmbo, as I'm always forgetting the right links.


For when I need to edit them:

User:ActivelyDisinterested/common.js

User:ActivelyDisinterested/common.css

{{tl|navbox}} automatically adds the class nowraplinks which can be overridden, for example with |listclass=wraplinks.


Editting

In general I'm currently {{small|I should be}} fixing no target errors, such edits usually have a summary including the tracking category:

Harv and Sfn no-target errors({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Harv and Sfn no-target errors|Harv and Sfn no-target errors|pages}})

[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Harv_and_Sfn_no-target_errors&action=purge For when it doesn't update correctly]

These seem to have some common causes.

Process for whitelisting False positives

I edit nearly exclusively on mobile using the desktop site, and apart from a [https://xtools.wmcloud.org/autoedits/en.wikipedia.org/ActivelyDisinterested few edits] using reFill to de-duplicate refs or InternetArchiveBot to add archives, all my edits are done manually in source.
