Function overview: Do cosmetic edits for CW Error #64 (Link equal to linktext) in complement to other non-cosmetic fixes.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Java (WPCleaner)

Source code available: On GitHub (especially algorithm 64)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): With other tasks that I already perform (currently, all are being done twice a month with the dump analysis).

Estimated number of pages affected: A few thousands at most (24393 articles on CW, 24121 articles on dump analysis).

Namespace(s): Main

Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes

Function details: The idea is to do some cosmetic fixes for CW Error #64 alongside other more significant edits. I already have several approved tasks (Task 2 for CW Error #106, Task 3 for CW Error #46, Task 4 for CW Error #543), and other tasks pending approval (Task 5 for CW Error #2, CW Error #16, CW Error #17, CW Error #85, CW Error #88, CW Error #90, CW Error #91, Task 6 for CW Error #1 (cosmetic also), Task 7 for Special:LintErrors/missing-end-tag). I want to combine fixing CW Error #64 with all others non-cosmetic approved tasks (current or future). Of course, the bot won't do edits with only cosmetic fixes.

  I have a question about the removal of the br tag in [1][2][3], are these edits correct? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:33, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  All these modifications were done manually. Jo-Jo Eumerus, why would they not be correct? The display is not modified by the removal of the tags, so the tags are useless. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 13:26, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  I was just wondering. I've seen these lone br tags on other articles and never understood what their point was; I wanted to make sure that they don't actually have some valid purpose. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:01, 15 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

  Jo-Jo Eumerus. For list items, I don't see any reason for adding them, the list item implies a line break at the end. For template parameters, I think it's probably because people use some list, elements being separated by line breaks and they add an extra line break at the end: I think most of the time they are useless, but you should check the result. --NicoV ^{(Talk on frwiki)} 09:22, 16 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
