Minecraft Wiki talk:Projects/Cleanup open tags

Should we also check the mentioned user and talk pages?
As mentioned on the page, there are some namespaces that I'm unsure about checking. Some of these have a lot of pages and some may not even be relevant. I'll do the smaller sets myself soon though. – [ Jack McKalling ] 23:24, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

In my opinion these issues can happen on all pages. In previously checked talk namespaces, I came across them also. So as far as I can take it myself, I'll do it myself. Maybe I'll break down the bigger ones in smaller sets, which was the plan all along. – [ Jack McKalling ] 14:31, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

What exactly do I need to do to help?
I'm still not exactly sure how I could help with this project. As far as I understand this project just needs people to check all pages (divided into subsets) and check if someone messed up their tags? Asarta (talk) 08:07, 26 July 2020 (UTC)

Regarding which namespaces to check
While I'm aware that a discussion concerning this already exists I didn't want to break into that so I'll state my thoughts here. I think we should do the Talk namespace but not User and User Talk. In my opinion the Talk namespace is still a part of the real wiki while User and User Talk are more socially orientated and not something that will be read by the casual reader. Anyone disagree?

 * Also, checking the File namespace for unclosed tags is a waste of time. I think we should check tags with bots (humans will fix them later) and switch to checking the newest pages and the talk and user namespaces. Fadyblok240 (talk) 23:03, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Wile I'm not part of the project, I got to disagree; it is still faulty wiki code that should get corrected. Having overflowing html formatting is rather unprofessional. Dhranios (talk) 23:24, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
 * We can check pages a thousand times faster with Extension:Linter. There is no need to manually check every page. Fadyblok240 (talk) 23:55, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
