I generally deal with technical issues around WP:V, one day I hope to upgrade Wikipedia's perceived reliability from meme worthy to just unreliable.
If I corrected an error that you couldn't see any error message for, you need to turn these error messages on as detailed in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.
Backlog: Harv and Sfn no-target errors |
If you are trying to deal with an new editor/IP (creating pages with / adding content that is) broken and poorly translated about Papua New Guinea see LTA Sony Esau Mbisikmbo.
Stuff to remember
{{harvc}}, {{Db-r2}}, {{Copyvio-revdel}}, MOS:SANDWICH, MOS:IMGSIZE, MOS:SECTIONLOC, MOS:CURLY, WP:PAREN, MOS:ORDER, WP:CS:EMBED, Module:Footnotes/whitelist, phab:T355914, as I'm always forgetting the right links.
For when I need to edit them:

{{navbox}} automatically adds the class nowraplinks which can be overridden, for example with |listclass=wraplinks.
Editting
In general I'm currently fixing no target errors, such edits usually have a summary including the tracking category:
Harv and Sfn no-target errors(4,504)
For when it doesn't update correctly
These seem to have some common causes.
Process for whitelisting False positives
I edit nearly exclusively on mobile using the desktop site, and apart from a few edits using reFill to de-duplicate refs or InternetArchiveBot to add archives, all my edits are done manually in source.
@&#£ing @&#% Category:Pages with broken anchors has 70,987 entries.
