Formatting
Sorry for. The tags are used to render certain text non-italic in an otherwise italic context. Your change resulted in all the text appearing in italics, which is visually confusing. Hope that helps explain the markup. Eirikr (talk) 03:22, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Eirikr: I re-edited these pages using double-apostrophe markup for italics, which restored the lint error fixes I had done before, and also correcting many headings in spurious italics. Hopefully my edits didn't cause any new problems. Also, I recommend that you sign talk page comments with your user id and a link to your talk page. That's why I added those links in your comment above. Anomalocaris (talk) 10:48, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Re: signature, apologies, I had intended to sign, but apparently fat-fingered and got too many s, producing just the date-time.  (Dunno why that's even a "feature", it's not terribly useful and just causes problems in my experience...)
 * Re:, that doesn't do anything visually (copied from the rendered HTML and minimally munged for illustration):
 * 居 ( i, formerly wi, “ there is ” )
 * As you can see above, the parenthesized comment is entirely in italics. This is not desired.  The word "formerly" should be non-italicized, as it is not part of the reading.  That's what the previous markup does did.
 * AFAIK, the and  templates have never respected   in the values supplied to the   parameter, which is why various editors, including myself, have sometimes resorted to using   tags.
 * I'm afraid your change doesn't fix things either, but digging into the details, it appears that the underlying modules have changed recently, affecting how the and  templates behave, producing all these lint errors and altering the behavior.  I've had a go at the markup myself now, but it appears that the underlying modules strip out markup in odd ways, so I've only committed minimal changes outside of the template arguments.  I've started a GP thread about this at Grease_pit/2018/May.

thanks from Sarri
Thank you for all your corrections  at my userpages and your effort to teach new Users how to write! (at my age, I am a bit slow, but I'll follow your corrections). But I don't like &lt;code&gt;&lt;nowiki&gt; because I saw that it changes the fonts. I hope you will forgive me for not using it -just at my userpages-. And thank you, for showing me how to make black links:) I was wondering for some while. I made notes of your advice. sarri.greek (talk) 12:24, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
