Your signature and linter errors

edit

Just a reminder that your signature contains obsolete font tags. They create Linter errors, and it is advised that you change your signature to -<small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sticks66|<span style="color:black;background:white;">'''Sticks'''</span>]][[User talk:Sticks66|<span style="color:white;background:red;">'''66'''</span>]]</span></small> ASAP.

The purpose of this message is because Linter errors affect the way the page looks, and with a lot of errors, the page may render badly. To reduce Linter errors, please change your signature. Sheep (talk) 13:06, 11 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

You say it's a reminder but this is the first I've heard of this issue or from you. But I've done as you've asked. Sticks66 04:41, 18 September 2022 (UTC)Reply

Your signature and linter errors (again)

edit

Hello, you may have been aware of the reminder I posted last year, and that you abided to it. I noticed that your signature is changed to use font tags as if you reverted your sig to the old one. Please be aware of WP:SIGFONT and consider changing your sig to have span tags (<small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Sticks66|<span style="color:black;background:white;">'''Sticks'''</span>]][[User talk:Sticks66|<span style="color:white;background:red;">'''66'''</span>]]</span></small>). Such a thing only takes a minute, and your sig display will remain the same. Thanks. Sheep (talkhe/him) 17:45, 13 October 2023 (UTC)Reply

Have done as you've asked.(Sticks66) 09:55, 15 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for updating your sig! :) Sheep (talkhe/him) 23:54, 16 October 2023 (UTC)Reply
