Cleanup instructions
Don't know which HTML tag is unwanted? Click the "Edit source" tab on the article page, and search (Ctrl+F in most web browsers) for the following. If you don't find any, feel free to remove the {{cleanup HTML}} tag.
Here's what to do about each:
<tt>
- Obsolete; use<code>
,<kbd>
,<samp>
,<var>
or {{mono}} instead, or even better {{code}}, {{kbd}}, {{var}}, or {{samp}}. See Wikipedia:HTML5#tt.<li>
,<ol>
, and<ul>
- Use "* " or "# " instead, or footnote syntax.<ol>
is used legitimately with the "start" attribute to control numbering. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists.<table>
,<tr>
,<td>
,<th>
,<caption>
- Convert to wiki syntax; see Help:Table.<i>
or<em>
- Use''
(for typography) or {{em}} (for emphasis where italics otherwise not required); be sure to follow MOS:ITALICS.<dd>
,<dt>
, and<dl>
- convert to definition list following MOS:DLIST.<cite>
- Use<ref>
instead if this is defining a footnote, or perhaps a Wikipedia:Citation template if this trying to format the contents of a footnote. See Wikipedia:HTML5#cite for more on how to fix misuse.<p>
- Can just use an empty line between paragraphs.<b>
and<strong>
- Use'''
instead, or remove bolding if MOS:BOLD says bolding isn't needed. In unusual cases, use {{strong}}.<u>
- Use {{underline}}.<name=>
- Usually a broken<ref name=...>
</br>
- Should be<br />
to be valid HTML. Any other variations like<br>
,<br/>
and<br >
can also be changed to<br />
so that syntax highlighting will work, but only do this if you are making other changes. If possible, use a blank line or list formatting instead. See Help:Line-break handling.<hr>
and<hr />
- Drop or use----
<font>
- obsolete; see Wikipedia:HTML 5#font for cleanup instructions.}, or<blockquote>
- see MOS:QUOTATIONS.<wbr>

. See Help:Line-break handling.<ruby>
,<rt>
, and<rp>
- Templates are preferred for simplicity. See Help:HTML in wikitext#rp, rt, ruby for replacements.<abbr>
- Use {{abbr}}
