Your mama may have had eyes in the back of her head, but our admin team just can't see everything at once. It takes a village to make sure TVTropes is running the way it should, so when it comes to spotting tech snafus, dreaming up a better digital mousetrap, or just diagnosing plain old asshattery, the quicker you let us know something's up, the quicker we can address it. See a bug? Point to it and we'll squash it. Have idea for a new feature? Post in the Tech Wishlist.

NOTE: Do not post duplicate bug queries, please check existing queries to see if your issue has already been reported and then comment on it.

Text in Source view is not page's actual source, but is a slightly formatted HTML, without being safe unicode-cleared. Just putting </span> (and I assume other tags in your case) anywhere on a page allows arbitrary HTML injection in Source view, including running Javascript, which is a big no-no for websites.

You shouldn't be putting html in the editor. Only use the tvtropes markup to create things on your troper page, thats what its for.

Yeah, I was just being lazy with copy and paste and I didn't strip out the accidental HTML in the list I was copying.

Well, now we know, so I'm removing it from my actual page.
