User:ActivelyDisinterested

ActivelyDisinterested, or AD, or they, but not. I generally deal with technical issues around WP:V, one day I hope to upgrade Wikipedia's perceived reliability from meme worthy to just unreliable.  If I corrected an error that you couldn't see any error message for, you need to turn these error messages on as detailed in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors. (CITREF lookup)  If you are trying to deal with an new editor/IP (creating pages with / adding content that is) broken and poorly translated about Papua New Guinea see LTA Sony Esau Mbisikmbo.

Should there be quorum rules in regard to centralised discussions?

Stuff to remember
harvc, Db-r2, Copyvio-revdel, MOS:SANDWICH, MOS:IMGSIZE, MOS:SECTIONLOC, MOS:CURLY, WP:PAREN, MOS:ORDER, WP:CS:EMBED, Module:Footnotes/whitelist, T355914, as I'm always forgetting the right links. For when I need to edit them: User:ActivelyDisinterested/common.js User:ActivelyDisinterested/common.css navbox automatically adds the class nowraplinks which can be overridden, for example with |listclass=wraplinks.

Editting
In general I'm currently fixing no target errors, such edits usually have a summary including the tracking category: Harv and Sfn no-target errors For when it doesn't update correctly These seem to have some common causes. Process for whitelisting False positives

I edit nearly exclusively on mobile using the desktop site, and apart from a few edits using reFill to de-duplicate refs or InternetArchiveBot to add archives, all my edits are done manually in source. 

@&#£ing @&#% Category:Pages with broken anchors has 60,000+ entries.
