Here's what to do about each: |
||
* {{tag|abbr|o}} — Use {{tl|abbr}}. |
|||
* <nowiki><tt></nowiki> - Obsolete; use <nowiki><code>, <kbd>, <samp></nowiki> or {{tl|mono}} instead. See [[Wikipedia:HTML5#tt]]. |
|||
* {{tag|bdo|o}} — Use {{tl|rtl}} or {{tl|ltr}}. |
|||
| ⚫ |
* |
||
* {{tag|blockquote|o}} — Prefer {{tl|blockquote}}. See [[MOS:QUOTATIONS]]. |
|||
* <nowiki><table>, <tr>, <td>, <th></nowiki> - see [[Help:Table]]. |
|||
* {{tag|br|c}} — Should be {{tag|br|s}} to be valid HTML. Any other variations like {{tag|br|o}}, <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline><br/></syntaxhighlight>, and <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline><br ></syntaxhighlight> can also be changed to {{tag|br|s}} so that syntax highlighting will work, but only do this if you are making other changes. If possible, use a blank line or list formatting instead. See [[Help:Line-break handling]]. |
|||
| ⚫ |
* |
||
| ⚫ | * {{tag|b|o}} and {{tag|strong|o}} — Use {{code|'''}} instead, or remove bolding if [[MOS:BOLD]] says bolding isn't needed. In unusual cases, use {{tl|strong}}. |
||
| ⚫ |
* |
||
** Note that [[MOS:BOLD]] indicates that use of {{tag|strong|o}} is allowed. |
|||
| ⚫ |
* |
||
* {{tag|center|o}} — Use {{tl|center}} for most text, otherwise see [[Wikipedia:HTML 5#center]]. |
|||
* <nowiki><p></nowiki> - Can just use an empty line between paragraphs. |
|||
| ⚫ | * {{tag|cite|o}} — Use {{tag|ref|o}} instead if this is defining a footnote, or perhaps a [[Wikipedia:Citation template]] if this trying to format the contents of a footnote. See [[Wikipedia:HTML5#cite]] for more on how to fix misuse. |
||
| ⚫ |
* |
||
| ⚫ | * {{tag|dd|o}}, {{tag|dt|o}}, and {{tag|dl|o}} — Convert to definition list following [[MOS:DLIST]]. |
||
* <nowiki><name=></nowiki> - Usually a broken <nowiki><ref name=...></nowiki> |
|||
| ⚫ | * {{tag|font|o}} — Obsolete; see [[Wikipedia:HTML 5#font]] for cleanup instructions. |
||
* <nowiki></br></nowiki> - Should be <nowiki><br /></nowiki> to be valid HTML. |
|||
* {{tag|hr|o}} and {{tag|hr|s}} — Use {{code|----}} or remove entirely. |
|||
* <nowiki><hr> and <hr/></nowiki> - Drop or use <nowiki>----</nowiki> |
|||
| ⚫ | * {{tag|i|o}}or{{tag|em|o}} — Use {{code|''}} (for typography) or {{tl|em}} (for emphasis where italics otherwise not required); be sure to follow [[MOS:ITALICS]]. |
||
| ⚫ |
* |
||
** Note that [[MOS:EMPHASIS]] indicates that use of {{tag|em|o}} is allowed. |
|||
* <nowiki><ins></nowiki> - usually should just be removed. If underlining is needed, use {{tl|underline}}. In rare cases, it can be kept to actually indicate inserted text, which is its intended purpose under the HTML standard. |
|||
| ⚫ | * {{tag|li|o}}, {{tag|ol|o}}, and {{tag|ul|o}} — Use "# " or "* " instead, or [[WP:NOTES|footnote syntax]]. {{tag|ol|o}} is used legitimately with the "start" attribute to control numbering. See [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists]]. |
||
* <nowiki><center></nowiki> - obsolete - see [[Wikipedia:HTML5#center]] for replacements |
|||
** Note that [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists#List styles]] indicates that use of {{tag|li|o}}, {{tag|ol|o}}, and {{tag|ul|o}} is allowed. |
|||
* <nowiki><strike></nowiki> - obsolete - see [[Wikipedia:HTML5#strike]] for replacements |
|||
* <syntaxhighlight lang="xml" inline><name=></syntaxhighlight> — Usually a broken <syntaxhighlight lang="html" inline><ref name=...></syntaxhighlight> |
|||
* <nowiki><rb></nowiki> - obsolete - see [[Help:HTML in wikitext#rp, rt, ruby]] for replacements |
|||
* {{tag|p|o}} — Use a blank line or {{tl|pb}} to separate paragraphs. |
|||
* <nowiki><samp></nowiki> - {{tl|samp}} has more distinctive styling |
|||
* {{tag|ruby|o}}, {{tag|rt|o}}, and {{tag|rp|o}} — Templates are preferred for simplicity. See [[Help:HTML in wikitext#rp, rt, ruby]] for replacements. |
|||
* {{tag|table|o}}, {{tag|tr|o}}, {{tag|td|o}}, {{tag|th|o}}, {{tag|caption|o}} — Convert to wiki syntax; see [[Help:Table]]. |
|||
* {{tag|tt|o}} — Obsolete; use {{tag|code|o}}, {{tag|kbd|o}}, {{tag|samp|o}}, {{tag|var|o}} or {{tl|mono}} instead, or even better {{tl|code}}, {{tl|kbd}}, {{tl|samp}}, or {{tl|var}}. See [[Wikipedia:HTML5#tt]]. |
|||
* {{tag|u|o}} — Use {{tl|underline}}. |
|||
* {{tag|var|o}} — Use {{tl|var}} for computer variables and {{tl|mvar}} for math variables (which use a serif font). |
|||
* {{tag|wbr|o}} — Rarely needed, but if necessary {{tl|shy}} is preferred over this and <code>&shy;</code>. See [[Help:Line-break handling#%3Cwbr /%3E and soft hyphens|Help:Line-break handling]]. |
