Help:Lint errors/deletable-table-tag

This linter category has been added to assist editors in fixing wikitext and templates to ensure that their pages render correctly with a HTML5-based tool like RemexHTML (which is slated to replace Tidy) and Parsoid. Specifically, this has got to do with a table being nested inside another table in a fosterable position (inside a  / |- tag, for example). This linter category will identify table tags like the one identified by a comment above so that editors can remove them.

Explanation
Since Tidy removes those tags right now, those table tags (and any styling associated with them) will not show up in the output. However, RemexHTML and Parsoid will preserve those table tags and will render 2 adjacent tables which might break rendering on pages. To preserve existing rendering with RemexHTML (which will replace Tidy) and Parsoid, this table tag wikitext should be removed. In cases where the wikitext comes from a template, Linter will also tell you what template produced that output, but you will have to investigate the template source to identify the relevant piece of template code that produces that table tag and fix it.
