- @ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ Didn't understand the edits to WikiProject Horror newsletters – it looks like table tags don't end up being paired. For example in User_talk:SomeoneSneezed#WikiProject_Horror_Newsletter_-_February_2009, I see 5
{|but only 4|}. The bot removed one of the{|. – SD0001 (talk) 14:42, 20 September 2021 (UTC)- @SD0001: in that page the bot edited the #WikiProject Horror Newsletter - March 2009 section, which is no. 9 in User:MalnadachBot/Task 8. It had 5 table start and 4 table end tags, which was fixed by removing the deletable table start tag. The February 2009 newsletter also has this error, which will be fixed in this task too (no. 8). They can be fixed in the same edit if present in the same page by using the regexes of 8 and 9 together. However I have used only one regex in the trial. ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 15:26, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
