Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Primary Manual, for explicit district patterns automated runs with spot reviews may be used.
Programming language(s): WP:AWB
Source code available: WP:AWB
Function overview: Repair of High/Medium priority Special:LintErrors.
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia:Linter describes the need for most of these fixes. See also Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Remex:_My_page_is_recently_broken_and_I_can't_figure_out_why.
Edit period(s): On-Demand
Estimated number of pages affected: Varies, there are ~7million H/M lint errors now, but I will not be attempting to resolve all of the types.
Namespace(s): Any
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: Repair of High/Medium priority Special:LintErrors. Will primarily be focusing on Special:LintErrors/multiple-unclosed-formatting-tags, Special:LintErrors/unclosed-quotes-in-heading, and Special:LintErrors/self-closed-tag (which is essentially the same as my task 6). OK if this needs to be restricted to these specific errors. This and similar tasks have been running cross project, see Special:CentralAuth/Fluxbot for examples at other projects.
@ Xaosflux: has the exact code been tested on other wikis already? Also, you plan on doing ~7M edits manually? Headbomb { t · c · p · b} 16:33, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply
Would you consider sharing the regex used for these? ƒirefly ( t · c · who? ) 17:01, 8 July 2018 (UTC) reply

this one, it'd be much better to convert to ''foobar''
rather than <i>foobar</i>
. The trial also wasn't super varied, and it'd likely be best if you could link to which Linter error exactly you were fixing in the edit summary (e.g.
Special:LintErrors:
Multiple unclosed formatting tags).

Perfect is the enemy of good. Close unclosed tags, don't worry about deprecated markup, and don't leave the job to editors without the bot flag, since that will just clog up watchlists. --
