Function overview: Do cosmetic edits for (Link equal to linktext) in complement to other non-cosmetic fixes.

Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: Automatic

Programming language(s): Java (WPCleaner)

Source code available: On GitHub (especially algorithm 64)

Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate):

Edit period(s): With other tasks that I already perform (currently, all are being done twice a month with the dump analysis).

Estimated number of pages affected: A few thousands at most (24393 articles on CW, 24121 articles on dump analysis).

Namespace(s): Main

Function details: The idea is to do some cosmetic fixes for alongside other more significant edits. I already have several approved tasks (Task 2 for, Task 3 for , Task 4 for ), and other tasks pending approval (Task 5 for , , , , , , , Task 6 for (cosmetic also), Task 7 for Special:LintErrors/missing-end-tag). I want to combine fixing with all others non-cosmetic approved tasks (current or future). Of course, the bot won't do edits with only cosmetic fixes.

 * I have a question about the removal of the br tag in, are these edits correct? Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 12:33, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * All these modifications were done manually. Jo-Jo Eumerus, why would they not be correct? The display is not modified by the removal of the tags, so the tags are useless. --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 13:26, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * I was just wondering. I've seen these lone br tags on other articles and never understood what their point was; I wanted to make sure that they don't actually have some valid purpose. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 17:01, 15 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Jo-Jo Eumerus. For list items, I don't see any reason for adding them, the list item implies a line break at the end. For template parameters, I think it's probably because people use some list, elements being separated by line breaks and they add an extra line break at the end: I think most of the time they are useless, but you should check the result. --NicoV (Talk on frwiki) 09:22, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
