Category:Pages using invalid self-closed HTML tags

From translatewiki.net
This category is hidden by default at the bottom of its member pages in their list of categories, unless you have opted in your preferences to display such hidden categories.

These pages contain invalid self-closed HTML tags, such as <b/>, or <span/>, or <div id="anchor"/> (which are valid only with the XHTML syntax).
The behavior of these will change soon to be consistent with the HTML5 specification, so their use in wikitext is deprecated.

  • To fix it, just remove the last / before the end of the tag, and add an explicit closing tag immediately after it.
    For example, <div id="anchor"/> must be changed to <div id="anchor"></div>.
  • But in other cases, this is caused by an incorrect way to close tags and the "/" was placed at the wrong position.
    For example, <div>...<div/> must be changed to <div>...</div>.
  • As there's no clear way to disambiguate the two cases (and because these are frequent errors made by human editors), self-closing tags have been disabled for all block and inline HTML elements that may have inner contents, because the reparation cannot be made accurately and automatically.
  • Note that the self-closing tag <br/> is valid and is even recommended (because the HTML br element cannot have any content), but </br> is always incorrect in HTML5 (you cannot find any closure tag, except in XHTML if the leading tag was not self-closed)
This tracking category should ideally be empty, but it is used for tracking some errors or other conditions that may occur. It may be populated by templates, or for tracking some issues detected by internal MediaWiki features.
NotePlease do not delete this category even if it's empty, thank you.
