Help with linting tools
thanks for the cleanup help
[1] . Could you recommend good linting tools? I've been looking for better linting tools to help with editing, especially with citations, wikitext formatting . i appreciate the help

@
Tonymetz Thanks for the thanks. :) Unfortunately I may not be able to help you too much with these areas. I'm pretty new at this and have mostly been fixing page-breaking errors found via
LintErrors,
Firefly Tools, and
Check Wikipedia. These are geared toward cleaning up after the fact rather than helping in the process of editing. You may be able to find something interesting at
Linter and
WikiProject Check Wikipedia (though I'm pretty sure you've looked there already). Installing
lintHint and using it in combination with
ExpandTemplates might help, but again, these are aimed at more serious errors. Sorry I don't have more to offer. (In the case that brought you here, I just accidentally noticed the ref was already there when I was double-checking the page after dealing with the lint error.)

Thank you
I could not for my life figure out how to do, what you did. Thanks

@
Creuzbourg You're welcome. Took me a while, too, mostly because I ran into this weird bug/feature that didn't let me properly refer to the transcluding template's own name inside the {{cleanup}} reason text - it kept getting turned into a red link. Wasted some time on that, until it dawned on me that I could just put it into a separate notice... Overall it was useful though, learned more about delayed parsing, conditionals and stuff.
