We've got a consistent markup error on a lot of works pages -- I've been finding it all over various anime and manga, but they're probably elsewhere as well. Basically, the image markup is wrapped in a quote box template, which results in the redlinked text "Template:Quote box". Here's an example from Iron Man (Anime):

{{quote box|[[File:iron_man_1684.jpg|frame]]}}

Can we whomp up a bot to strip the template from around the file link? I sorta got into the zone last night doing it manually, but it's got to be on hundreds of pages, and fixing them would be better automated.

Oh, and there's one other thing we need to look for and fix. Some images, not a huge amount but a significant number regardless, have a path as part of their filenames. The one I know of for sure is "lt/", but I believe there are others. In the case I know of, well, it was my upload directory on the old TVT, made for me because I was the first prolific uploader of images for pages. I think there were a couple others before a generalized upload directory was implemented, but I'm not sure. We need to identify these and fix them, too. -- Looney Toons (talk) 14:13, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
