I generally deal with technical issues around WP:V, one day I hope to upgrade Wikipedia's perceived reliability from meme worthy to just unreliable.
If I've made a comment, and it appears backwards to a previous comment I've made or doesn't quite make sense, then it's likely I've missed "n't" or "not" somewhere. No I don't know why I do that.
If I corrected an error that you couldn't see any error message for, you need to turn these error messages on as detailed in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.

If you are trying to deal with an new editor/IP (creating pages with / adding content that is) broken and poorly translated about Papua New Guinea see LTA Sony Esau Mbisikmbo.

{{navbox}} automatically adds the class nowraplinks which can be overridden, for example with |listclass=wraplinks.
Editting

Harv and Sfn no-target errors(4,808)
For when it doesn't update correctly
These seem to have some common causes.
Process for whitelisting False positives
I edit nearly exclusively on mobile using the desktop site, and apart from a few edits using reFill to de-duplicate refs or InternetArchiveBot to add archives, all my edits are done manually in source.
@&#£ing @&#% Category:Pages with broken anchors has 68,839 entries.
