Invitation to the African Destubathon

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

Your signature

Please be aware that your signature uses deprecated <font> tags, which are causing Obsolete HTML tags lint errors.

You are encouraged to change

- [[User:Basement12|<font color="blue">Ba</font><font color="gold">se</font><font color="black">me</font><font color="green">nt</font><font color="red">12</font>]] [[User talk:Basement12|(T]].[[Special:Contributions/Basement12|C)]] → - Basement12 (T.C)

to

Note: This signature is right at the character limit. To get there, I removed the optional semicolon before each close quote and the optional space after each colon. And I changed Contributions to Contribs. That left me one character over, so I removed the space after the leading hyphen. I am sorry, I do not see any other ways of shortening your signature without changing the appearance. If you really need the space after the hyphen, I could suggest:

- [[User:Basement12|<span style="color:blue">Ba</span><span style="color:gold">se</span><span style="color:black">me</span><span style="color:green">nt</span><span style="color:red">12</span>]] / [[User talk:Basement12|T]] [[Special:Contribs/Basement12|C]] → - Basement12 / T C

Which is one character less than the limit.

Respectfully, Anomalocaris (talk) 22:11, 24 November 2017 (UTC) ... Revised: Anomalocaris (talk) 22:07, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

I figured out the workaround! For font color black; use #000, saving one character. So, here is a string that preserves your signature exactly, and fits within the character limit exactly:

- [[User:Basement12|<span style="color:blue">Ba</span><span style="color:gold">se</span><span style="color:#000">me</span><span style="color:green">nt</span><span style="color:red">12</span>]] [[User talk:Basement12|(T]].[[Special:Contribs/Basement12|C)]] → - Basement12 (T.C)
