Indented reflist-talk 155+41 [128] and [129] Indenting {{reflist-talk}} and similar templates with any number of colons causes one missing end tag and one stripped tag. The usual fix is to remove the colons. These search results will need to be inspected and edited manually; a bot might "fix" some examples or other valid syntax.

tt wrapping emoticons (replace with {{mono}}) 15 [132] There are no doubt more varieties of emoticons than appear in this search; a broader search finds 700 pages, with some likely false positives.

For example, instead of ''18mm'', use ''18&nbsp;mm'', which when you are editing the page, should look like: <tt>18&amp;nbsp;mm</tt>.

Obsolete center tags

User / Issue Number of pages Search link Notes Example
Galleries +330 [144] Many pages with picture galleries are prefixed with a center tag. Note that the gallery parameter class="center" won't work if "perrow" is used (see Help:Gallery tag#Center). This is a typical configuration, with zero or more gallery parameters:
<center><gallery "param1" "param2" ...>
Files ...
</gallery></center>
+500 [145] Another configuration is:

Centered images 5,800 [149] These tags can be replaced by |center inside the brackets, unless |center is already present, in which case the tags can be removed.

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.
