 * Pining who were part of the linked discussion (or the user whose signature is being fixed) --DannyS712 (talk) 18:41, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Since you have to touch it anyway, can you make it any smaller (e.g. combine elements?) — xaosflux  Talk 18:43, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * The font elements could probably be combined, or even replaced with spans since the tag is depreciated, but since the user is inactive and thus hasn't commented, I wanted to be as unobtrusive and make as small edits as possible, since this is another user's signature DannyS712 (talk) 18:47, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Can you check that new change doesn't maintain or create any new lint errors (e.g. mistnested tags) - rather not see this get touched twice. — xaosflux  Talk 19:19, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * do you mean elsewhere on the page or within the signature? Either way, the use of  results in an "Obsolete HTML tags" lint error, but otherwise this shouldn't cause any issues DannyS712 (talk) 19:22, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Plus, there are already 11 million obsolete HTML tag errors, so that doesn't seem to be a big concern DannyS712 (talk) 19:26, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I just meant in this snippet - mostly that a new linter error won't be introduced - that obsolete html tags one - not touching it :D — xaosflux  Talk 19:38, 30 July 2019 (UTC)\

 * Be sure to mark "minor" to prevent the newtalk trigger in user_talk: ns. — xaosflux  Talk 19:38, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * - 50 edits made (all marked as minor, thanks for the reminder). I checked the first few manually, and verified each edit on AWB, and didn't see any issues. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 21:26, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Actually 1 issue I found: typo in the summary, I wrote "is" instead of "in" - will correct for the rest of the edits DannyS712 (talk) 21:26, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
 * task approved for one time run. — xaosflux  Talk 13:00, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
