WOSlinker, the bot edit in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Allenroyboy/Archive while correct, missed two similar span tag errors. Perhaps you can add more regexes to catch them? ಮಲ್ನಾಡಾಚ್ ಕೊಂಕ್ಣೊ (talk) 07:03, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I've updated the code and done 1 more edit which picked up the two missing spans. -- WOSlinker (talk) 07:33, 8 August 2021 (UTC)
