This is the list of errors that Check Uncyclopedia serves to fix.

The errors[edit | edit source]

  1. Template transclusion contains "Template:" - low priority
  2. Incorrent HTML syntax - high priority - Reason: Examples include <br></br> instead of <br/>, which are deprecated and invalid.
  3. Use of <a> - medium priority - Reason: <a> does not work in wikitext. These should generally be replaced with [] or [[]] syntax, but note that many users of this syntax are engaged in spambottery.
  4. Unclosed HTML comment - high priority - Reason: This means <!--'s that aren't closed. This may inadvertently hide sentences, or even entire sections, and as such is quite important to fix.
  5. Unclosed MediaWiki extension tags - high priority - Reason: This is <math>, <syntaxhighlight>, and <code> tags that were left unclosed.
  6. Improper use of HTML syntax - low priority - Reason: This is use of <b> in place of '''; fixing this is considered a "cosmetic" task, because it only makes the wikitext look more "pretty", as opposed to actually meaning anything.
  7. Improper URL syntax - high priority - Reason: This is used for external links that don't have an http:// or https:// in them, outside of the {{URL}} template.
  8. [[Page|Page]] - low priority - Reason: This refers to pages who have links that pipe to themselves. This generally shouldn't need to be fixed, unless you want to increase your edit count.
