Wikivoyage talk:LintErrors Expedition

Diving in the United Kingdom showing up on LintErrors, No immediate concern found.
So what broke?

This is generating an unbalanced span somehow inside a template called divesitelisting?

Can someone good with templates figure out WHY it's unbalanced and add the appropriate tag in the correct location please? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:33, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Some of the divesitelisting have bullet points in them, that could be it.
 * On a general point, is there a page on Wikivoyage explaining why there is this Lint Error activity, what tools there are to identify them, what needs to be done etc. Edits appear to be affecting a lot of pages, would be useful to explain to people. --Traveler100 (talk) 06:20, 18 December 2017 (UTC)


 * Yes, that would be helpful. Most of the remaining LintErrors in mainspace though seem to be directly connected with the listing template. As I've said elsewhere this should be re-written in Lua, and the design limitations owing to the use of bdi tags reconsidered. (For those technically minded see also https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#the-bdi-element and https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#phrasing-content-2  vs  https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#flow-content-2 This would seem to suggest that putting multiple paragraphs inside BDI tags shouldn't work, and only does so because of a quirk in how media-wiki tidies up the HTML generated.  Ideally the template should be re-written so that the generated HTML is properly structured.)ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:13, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * Something like LintErrors Expedition. Would appreciate input on this as I have only just started looking at the topic. --Traveler100 (talk) 18:43, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
 * That's an excellent start, The stripped tags error, seems to be where the parser is encountering a unpaired closing tag, which typically means something is mismatched elsewhere. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:13, 18 December 2017 (UTC)
