Regarding ] you made, if font tags with color attribute is outside a link, it should be moved inside the link when it is converted to span tag. Otherwise the color will not render.

| Thank you for your work fixing lint errors. I found ] in , and I looked into the page history so I could understand what went wrong in your edit just before mine. We all make mistakes, and hopefully you didn't make many of this type, which is actually two types, because you removed some of the display text and left a tag without a closing tag. When I edit, I always run lintHint to make sure I haven't introduced any new lint errors. Also, I noticed in {{Diff|Portal talk:Linguistics/Archive 1|1096539845|prev|your edit of 03:41, 5 July 2022 (UTC)}} of ] you changed <code><nowiki><tt>n</tt></nowiki></code> to <code><nowiki><samp>n</samp></nowiki></code>, but this is not correct. See ], where it explains the various replacedments for {{tag|tt}}. {{tag|samp}} is only for computer output, and this isn't computer output. The replacement for {{tag|tt}} in the general case is {{tlx|mono}}. Also, the purpose of an edit summary is to inform other users about that specific edit. For this reason, my edit summaries usually detail every change I made. Take a look at ] for how expressive my edit summaries are. It may amuse you to keep a tally of your lint fixes, but I don't think the edit summary is the place for that tally. Instead of the tally, put in the details, so other editors will learn from your correction what not to do. Cheers! ―] (]) 06:06, 6 July 2022 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, thanks for the heads up. The reason I have it that way is because with span tags, the underline isn't the custom color, unlike with font tags.

| Some explanation on why I may consider ending my WP career |
|---|
|
You might have noticed why I placed {{Considering retirement}} on my user page. Video games (especially Minecraft) and coding have been taking up a lot of my time in my life, and I may not have enough time to contribute hundreds of edits a day as I used to (it happens sometimes). As time progresses, grades become more important and are a factor in seeing if I can get into university. Therefore, I have to spend more time doing assignments and studying for tests and eventually, exams. WP used to be addicting last summer/autumn until video games became more addicting to me than WP. As a result, the number of edits I've made have decreased from my peak. In other words, I'm slowly losing interest in editing WP. I am in my third year of secondary school. I'm doing very well there and should expect to get to university at this rate, and I want to stay that way. That said, being on WP during class may deter my goal of getting to university, and my school may ban the use of WP when I am in grade 11/12 so I may not edit much there. I may use WP during class time when I have free time. There is also some IRL stuff I have to do as an adolescent as I prepare for adulthood. I have to do chores for my parents, know how to do adult stuff, etc. I plan to become a computer programmer after I finish post-secondary school. In short, editing as an adolescent (especially when I have school) is not easy. Some task(s) to do before ending my career here:

Seems like my bot stopped working because "This user doesn't have enough privileges to make automatic edits on this wiki." I don't know what caused this.
Looks like it's because it was trying to run an outdated version of AWB. Updating it resolves the issue. Sheep (talk • he/him) 04:42, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

Hey, I was wondering if it is possible for your bot's task 2 edits to be tagged with the Special:Tags "fixed lint errors" so this can be better tracked. Gonnym (talk) 09:25, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- Ok then, since my bot uses AWB I am wondering how this can be possible. Sheep (talk • he/him) 19:37, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
- That's a good question, the documentation at Misplaced Pages:Tags and related pages doesn't really explain how to add this. Gonnym (talk) 18:21, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
For now I will run the bot without the "fixed lint errors" tag until I can figure out a way to include it within the bot's edits. Sheep (talk • he/him) 21:15, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
