:::The only reason it catches multiple strings of br's without slashes is that multiple br's in a row is bad wikitext formatting (whether it has a slash or not is irrelevant), and that the filters were written almost a decade ago (2006-2007?), before HTML 5 even existed in any reasonable form. The problem really is that multiple br's shouldn't be used, and circumventing that breaks what little use the filter has. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:43, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

::::I was starting to think that might be the case, but originally I just figured that for some reason a slash ''was'' the proper solution. Half of that problem stems from an incomplete filter, and half from a vague error message that doesn't either offer a good solution or explain itself clearly enough. There are some circumstances where strings of breaks have been useful, though, I think (in tables, I think).

== Changing translations ==
I've been notified of this before, so let me pass it on to you as well: if you change a translation, please make sure to change it everywhere it occurs. Like the change you recently made to [[Sevault Canyon]]'s translation, which also appeared on [[List of routes]]. A quick search is all it needs. Thanks. =) [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:53, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
