Just out of curiosity, are <small> tags (and other HTML entities) one of the WCW errors? I saw it in Special:Diff/876222088. Primefac (talk) 23:03, 3 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Primefac: It is only a WCW error it is duplicated (error 55) or if it is in a reference, subscript or superscript (error 63). Pkbwcgs (talk) 12:41, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

 Approved. Task approved. — xaosflux ^Talk 14:33, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
