Misnested tag

 * User: (many; misnested or missing font tag errors listed across all namespaces)

14,000+ results (regex needs refinement to avoid false positives when a closing font tag is followed by text before brackets; this search has fewer false positives; 4,000+ results; this batch of 1,400 pages is slightly different)

Note: I have performed a search/sort/count of a partial list of these "font starts inside the brackets and ends outside the brackets" signatures. Here's a breakdown as of 2023-02-25:

These tags can be replaced by  inside the brackets, unless   is already present, in which case the tags can be removed. There are probably other degenerate cases, like if  or   or   are present, which should probably be skipped and left for humans to fix.

center tag wrapping the unnamed parameter of Archive box: 81 pages;  appears to be the only replacement that works reliably; this may need a supervised run to ensure that the contents of the unnamed parameter do not disappear from the rendered page

Invalid font tags
This section is for font tags with invalid formatting that is unlikely to be found and replaced using normal regular expressions. This includes font tags using attributes other than "color", "face", or "size". Note that "font id=foo" works as an anchor like "span id=foo" and was apparently valid HTML, so those might need to be converted to span tags.

font color with seven or more hex characters in the color string: 400 pages, but the search times out. There are probably more.

font color with non-hex characters in an apparent color specification (in the second through penultimate character): 289 pages, but the search times out. There are probably more.

Related: font color with non-hex characters in an apparent color specification (in the final character): 14 pages, probably more.

Invalid tag : 41 pages; search times out

Invalid tag  (instead of "face"): 2,700 pages or more

Invalid attribute in font tag (does not start with "c", "i", "s", or "f" for "color", "id", "style", or "face"; this search could be better), or newline after "font" within tag: 800+ pages
