I generally deal with technical issues around WP:V, one day I hope to upgrade Wikipedia's perceived reliability from meme worthy to just unreliable.
'Should' is not 'Must'.
If I've made a comment, and it appears backwards to a previous comment I've made or doesn't quite make sense, then it's likely I've missed "n't" or "not" somewhere. No I don't know why I do that.
If I corrected an error that you couldn't see any error message for, you need to turn these error messages on as detailed in Category:Harv and Sfn no-target errors.

Stuff to remember
{{harvc}}, {{Db-r2}}, {{Copyvio-revdel}}, MOS:SANDWICH, MOS:IMGSIZE, MOS:SECTIONLOC, MOS:CURLY, WP:PAREN, MOS:ORDER, WP:CS:EMBED, Module:Footnotes/whitelist, LTA Sony Esau Mbisikmbo, as I'm always forgetting the right links.
For when I need to edit them:

User:ActivelyDisinterested/common.css
{{navbox}} automatically adds the class nowraplinks which can be overridden, for example with |listclass=wraplinks.
Editing
In general I'm currently I should be fixing no target errors, such edits usually have a summary including the tracking category:
Harv and Sfn no-target errors(4,747)
For when it doesn't update correctly
These seem to have some common causes.
Process for whitelisting False positives
I edit nearly exclusively on mobile using the desktop site, and apart from a few edits using reFill to de-duplicate refs or InternetArchiveBot to add archives, all my edits are done manually in source.
@&#£ing @&#% Category:Pages with broken anchors has 56,963 entries.
