This article is a mess of language template errors on gmq-bot. Even though the article and the subject might be notable I am nominating this soft deletion or draftify to fix. Hagennos ❯❯❯ Talk 02:38, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
- Oppose WP:SOFIXIT, WP:DEMOLISH, and who buggered up the templates? It didn't used to have all those errors. "Needs markup fixing" is not grounds for deletion. DuncanHill ( talk) 03:03, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
- Comment I don't think this is an issue with the template. I tried WP:BEFORE to find the ISO lang codes from https://datahub.io/core/language-codes but could not find the gmq-bot the language code used. The errors were introduced in this edit by ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Westrobothnian&oldid=809025859) and became worse after each edit by user Knyȝt -- Hagennos ❯❯❯ Talk 04:08, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

- The reason all these errors are showing up is the recent rewriting of the {{ lang}} template. There are two possible solutions: 1) set all instances of this template in the article to use a language tag that the template finds acceptable (gmq would do the trick if there isn't anything more specific), or 2) request support for the gmq-bot tag at Template talk:Lang. And Hagennos, AfD isn't the place to seek help for fixing technical issues in articles; if you can't think of a more specific place, the WP:Teahouse is usually a good starting point. – Uanfala (talk) 05:35, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
- Keep I can't see any "mess" in the article. Perhaps the technical issues have been sorted out since it was nominated for deletion? / FredrikT ( talk) 15:23, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
