This seemingly innocent markup found in {{Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies/to do}}:
{{todo
|for=[[File:Gay flag.svg|25px]] [[WP:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies|WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies]]
|list=Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies/to do list
}}
has a missing end tag for <div>. If this markup is prohibited, the documentation should make this clear, and {{Wikipedia:WikiProject LGBTQ+ studies/to do}} should be modified to be compliant. If this markup is intended to work, Template:To do needs to be modified to emit the missing </div>. —Anomalocaris (talk) 18:20, 4 June 2026 (UTC)

- @Anomalocaris Why did I get pinged here ? If everyone starts doing this, I’d soon have thousands of pings a day with all the templates I have edited over the years. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 08:34, 6 June 2026 (UTC)
- Looks like they pinged editors of this in the past, but yeah don't make this a habit @Anomalocaris. @TheDJ: Cheers to 20+ years. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dissident93 (talk • contribs) 00:27, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
