Check for unclosed tags in signatures upon saving preferences
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

At about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Bengalia#POTD point on that page,
all text turns green. It is some kind of defective vanity signature macro that is allowed to bleed on,
affecting the rest of the page?

Event Timeline

If people write broken custom HTML in their signature and never close their font color tag that's what you get...

When saving preferences, a simple check for valid HTML or at least counting the number of opening and closing tags should be done.

Else users, with one single accident, could destroy (not only change the color of) all the following text, on all the pages they have ever placed their signatures on.
