Help:Lint errors

When Parsoid parses a page's wikitext, it identifies patterns in wikitext that are probably mistakes. This page documents the potential issues.

The lint errors are currently displayed by the Linter extension, see Help:Extension:Linter . In the future they may also be shown when editing your signature in Preferences ; see New requirements for user signatures .
