I'm cleaning up a tracked syntax error called a Tidy font bug across Wikipedia, and this page has two in the hitchhiker's guide userbox. When links are written in the link format (with the color specified outside of the link) they do not display identically across browsers. Some browsers display it as specified, and other browsers default back to displaying the standard link blue.

If you would, please change This user is a frood  who really knows where their towel  is.

to

This user is a  frood  who really knows where their  towel  is.

If you are also willing, there is one more font tag, and four center tags (both are obsolete tags), on this page. Correcting these will clear the page of all WP:LINT errors.

For the other font, change R

to

R

And for the centers,
 * style="font-size:pt; padding:; line-height:; color:; " | This user is addicted to  Curries 

to


 * style="font-size:pt; padding:; line-height:; text-align: center; color:; " | This user is addicted to  Curries 

change
 * style="width: 45px; height: 45px; background: black; text-align: center; font-size: pt; color: ;" | [[Image:Wormhole travel as envisioned by Les Bossinas for NASA.jpg|45px]]
 * style="font-size: pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: ;" | This user enjoyed  Farscape

and change
 * style="font-size: pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; color: ;" | This user is a railfan, especially of the JR West Geibi Line.

to


 * style="font-size: pt; padding: 4pt; line-height: 1.25em; text-align: center; color: ;" | This user is a railfan, especially of the JR West Geibi Line.

These remove the use of the obsolete tag and adds "text-align: center;" to the cell layout parameters (if not already present).

 * Courtesy ping to Nihonjoe just in case. SWinxy (talk) 22:05, 20 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Should we be using  (and the like)? Won't the wiki ignore those since we have wiki markup? ··· 日本穣  ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 20:27, 22 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Nihonjoe  is HTML5 markup, and both HTML5 and wikimarkup are widely accepted markup on Wikipedia. They are equivalent, clean ways of writing bold text with a style specification (color, font, size, etc) and I've used both frood ( ... ) and
 *  frood  ( ''' ... ) display equivalently here, using both ways of writing such.
 * That said, would you rather the proposed changes use '''span style instead of <b style ? I can easily adjust the proposed changes above to use such instead; just specify. Other than getting a clarification on this detail, do the proposed changes meet your approval? My ideal goal is for you to be happy with the changes and for the identified errors to be corrected.

 * From my understanding of HTML 5 (keeping in mind I've been using HTML since version 2), the  tags are deprecated in favor of, and it's preferred to use   over that. That said, on wiki, it's preferred to use the wiki markup whenever possible. ··· 日本穣  ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 17:11, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * This is the first I've heard of this. That said, I've adjusted the proposed to use ''' tags are for bold text and  tags are for important text. I think b tags or wikimarkup are appropriate in these cases. – Jonesey95 (talk) 19:54, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Sure, that's fine. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 20:07, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
 * @Nihonjoe,  was deprecated in the recent past. Now it has semantic meaning. Izno (talk) 20:26, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
