bugs in OABot

Hi @Afernand74. Can you please stop running OABot to remove "doi-access=free" until OABot bugs have been worked out? Some of your recent edits such as special:diff/1172389319 were incorrect (could you manually check any similar edits you have made to make sure they weren't similarly buggy?). See discussion at User talk:OAbot § bot incorrectly removed manually added free access tag. –jacobolus (t) 19:51, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

Thanks @Jacobolus for bringing this'to me attention. I only made two trials with this bot. I will not use it until further notice. Afernand74 (talk) 20:14, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

No worries. Have a nice day! –jacobolus (t) 20:15, 26 August 2023 (UTC)

East Asia Summitck

We were editing East Asia Summit simultaneously. Someone had reverted me, I saw the problem with my edit, so I went back to my version and fixed the problem. If your edit is still needed, please make it again. Sorry for the inconvenience. —Anomalocaris (talk) 07:33, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

@Anomalocaris No problem. I improved/simplified the coding of the infobox. Afernand74 (talk) 17:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

Lint fixes are good, but editing talk pages to change other editors' punctuation isn't

I found User talk:RHaworth/2014 Aug 09 in Lint errors: Links in links (User talk), and determined the error was added in your edit of 08:09, 9 September 2023 (UTC), so I reverted. Then I fixed the lint errors, which were one Tidy font link bug and a bunch of obsolete <font> tags. Then I took a look at the differences between your lint fix and mine, and I saw you made a whole bunch of changes that you should not have made. Most or all of these would be fine in article space, but in general, "mistakes" on a talk page, such as spelling and punctuation errors, should be left alone. Yes, do fix lint errors. But don't make these corrections:

• change hyphen (-) to en dash (–)
• remove multiple blanks
• change capitalization of template names that work properly either way
• use HTML names of characters, such as changing the em dash (—) to —

For more advice, see Wikipedia:Linter#How you can help. If you are still editing talk pages making changes like you did in User talk:RHaworth/2014 Aug 09, please stop! And consider reverting such changes you have already made. —Anomalocaris (talk) 08:24, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

Edits like the ones above were still happening as of 22 October 2023; note change of hyphen to dash, underscore to space, and other changes that are either unnecessary or unwelcome. Please change as little as possible, just enough to fix the Linter errors. Spelling and punctuation errors in other editors' talk page contributions are not appropriate, per the guideline at WP:TALKO. There is also no need to add or remove slash "/" characters from br tags. They work the same, and the syntax highlighter has been adjusted to allow either format. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:31, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

@Anomalocaris @Jonesey95 Thank you. I will stop correcting Linter errors in the future and let more qualified experts do it. Apologize for any trouble. I will look for a tool to undo all my previous edits in a batch mode. In the meantime, free to revert any of my previous edits. Afernand74 (talk) 07:42, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

You are welcome to improve Wikipedia in any useful way, including fixing lint errors, or whatever else you find worthwhile. If you have trouble knowing which fixes to avoid on talk pages (even though it's rather straightforward), you could work on articles and drafts, and stay away from talk pages. Cheers! —Anomalocaris (talk) 07:53, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
