User:B.V.B.2025/Чек

[edit]

User:B.V.B.2025/Чек shows up in Unclosed quote in heading lint errors because of the markup

=== '''{{left|1}} {{left|{{fbaicon|ESP}}}} {{left|[[File:Escudo real madrid 1941.png|19px]] [[Real Madrid CF|Real M]]}} ===

which should close the open bold with

=== '''{{left|1}} {{left|{{fbaicon|ESP}}}} {{left|[[File:Escudo real madrid 1941.png|19px]] [[Real Madrid CF|Real M]]}}''' ===

The latter can be further improved; the left markup doesn't do anything, so why not simplify it to:

=== '''1 {{fbaicon|ESP}} [[File:Escudo real madrid 1941.png|19px]] [[Real Madrid CF|Real M]]''' ===

This is fine on a user page, but of course in a real Wikipedia article, headings are usually plain text (no images) and without bold markup.

This page has many other issues that should be addressed, so I thought it would better to explain than to do myself.

Italics (''), bold ('''), and bold italics (''''') should always be closed. If you don't close these within a table cell, it will look like you got away with it, but it is bad practice.

Colors in hexadecimal digits should always start with a number sign (#). Something like color=FF0000 or bgcolor=FF0000may appear to work, but there are actually three errors in each of these. First, there should be a number sign. Second, there should be quotation marks around the color. Third, the markups are obsolete under HTML5. Here are the corrections:

color=FF0000 should be style="color:#FF0000"
bgcolor=FF0000 should be style="background:#FF0000"

Any one table row or cell can have only one style indicator, so if you have something like

style="border-top:3px solid" bgcolor=#2de79f

the two styles come together separated by a semicolon, like this:

style="border-top:3px solid; background:#2de79f"

It's best to put bold, italics, and colors inside positioning such as center, left justify, or right justify. So,

'''''{{center|1}} should be {{center|'''''1'''''}}
{{right|'''191}} should be {{right|'''191'''}}

It may seem unnecessary, but it's good practice to avoid unclosed tags and to bring all markup into compliance with current standards. Anomalocaris (talk) 01:04, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
