IABot should check the number of {{ and }} is equal or not
Closed, DeclinedPublic

Description

As I reported here T184856#4426468, {{ and }} inside templates can confuse IABot. I would suggest that IABot should check that the number of {{ and }} inside the reference tag. If they are not equal (see the example), the bot should not save the edit and somehow indicates it to us.

Sorry, but this is not a feasible task. Not to mention, that MW has no idea how to render this as well.
