Background
An editor, Wbm1058, identified a number of errors. This was originally reported at the OTRS noticeboard: Errors requiring attention

In short, it turned out some agents for using the incorrect tag. Unfortunately, it was not as simple as replacing the incorrect tag with the correct tag. In many cases, a bit of homework was needed. In many cases, it was easy to identify what needed to be done and carry it out.

I corresponded with the editor who first found these errors here

I categorized the issues into a number of cases. I ended up with 11 main cases although some numbers had some sub cases. Those cases are listed in the table below. In many instances I handled a situation in Track of which case it was in an external spreadsheet not included here. When I had finished the low hanging fruit I was down to a number of more difficult cases, each of which are listed in the table below. Some have subsequently been handled and identified with the strikethrough. In one case I see a red link so so that item no longer needs handling.

I ran out of steam in mid-October 2014 although I see Moonriddengirl handled several items subsequently. I recently noticed that editor Wbm1058 has been working on this so I'm revisiting this page. It had a table but no background so I've added this background to help remind anyone reading this page of the issues.


 * I worked through the last 25 of these – most I was able to figure out what should be done, even without access to the OTRS tickets – and now the talk namespace is error-free! Wanted to start the new year with a clean slate.


 * Feel free to check my work. One article I tagged for proposed deletion. On a couple others I put up the GFDL but left a note of doubt as to whether permission was given after November 1, 2008. Many I just went with the default license where I had no knowledge to do otherwise. Another or two I reverted to the OTRS received template, so they are still in some work queue, but just not triggering a template syntax error. Happy New Year!

 * Thank-you!!! It has been nagging at me that I got started and did not finish this. I'm happy to see that it is now completed. S Philbrick  (Talk)  21:52, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
