Linter errors

User:Bruce1ee & User:Jonesey95 — Thank you for fixing the linter errors and for your patience.

I actually have turned on the syntax highlighter, but apparently I still miss the errors. I think that the highlighter is not as compatible or functional as I need it to be, although reviewing mw:User:Remember the dot/Syntax highlighter#Known issues I can not figure out where the problem lies. When I open an italics (via double-apostrophe) the highlighting sometimes does not continue (in both Mac Firefox and Mac Safari), therefore I can not see the error.

I tend to make frequent small edits instead of one infrequent large edit, so maybe more opportunities have led to more errors. I will try to be more diligent. —GoldRingChip 12:44, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

In addition to the syntax highlighter, you can also see if there are any lint errors on a page by clicking "Page information" in the left side bar and scrolling to the bottom. You can also add a "lintHint" button to the top right corner of each page by following the instructions at User:PerfektesChaos/js/lintHint. —Bruce1ee^talk 14:15, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

That's a good start, thanks. I've now installed the linthint button, but it is mainspace-only, I think. —GoldRingChip 15:16, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

To extend it to all namespaces, have a look at User:PerfektesChaos/js/lintHint#Configuration by JavaScript. Add the four lines of js code shown to your common.js (in that order), but set "myLintHints.rooms" to "*" (star) – that enables LintHint for all namespaces. —Bruce1ee^talk 15:42, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

oh hey there

I guess I will stop bombarding you with thanks; you aren't a new editor that needs praise for good referencing. I just saw a series of gnomish reference edits that I liked at French Third Republic, that's all. Stuff that matters when you go to actually try to verify a reference. Appreciate you.
