Administration, and how about https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#6-3-2-related-articles - "Note 1:..the author of an issue must demonstrate a template that reliably identifies them for extraction/removal without endangering essential information.".
The author of the issue has no template, and the rules said "author of an issue must demonstrate a template that reliably identifies them for extraction/removal without endangering essential information."

<related> not formatted

One of related links is handled but not the other.
Andrew A.
One-off case. Usually on this site, in "Read also" blocks, there is a list of elements after "Читайте также" paragraph (http://vesma.today/news/post/5585-nesu-purgu, http://vesma.today/news/post/5867-stal-memom, http://vesma.today/article/post/268-voda-v-rechakh-chinovnikov-). If there is one element, there can be no list (http://vesma.today/news/post/5690-mne-nravitsya-shanson-gubernator-sergey-nosov-rasskazal-kakuyu-muzyku-slushaet-).

In this case, the layout is messed up — there is more than one element but there is no list. I believe, just taking all the following links after "Читайте также" paragraph isn't safe.

Author is missing.
Andrew A.
It can't be reliably identified. It's just the last paragraph aligned to the right. Not just the author name can be there. For example: http://vesma.today/article/post/255-i-ne-pogasne-rampy-svet — "Photo by author". This site has "news__authors1" block for author name in standard format (seen on http://vesma.today/article/post/255-i-ne-pogasne-rampy-svet).

And then the structure of hand-formatted text changes and your heuristic fails:
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vesma.today/template25/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvesma.today%2Farticle%2Fpost%2F247-mnenie-o-formalnykh-vyborakh-s-ocherednoy-zamanukhoy-

Or grabs the author name together with rudimentary text:
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vesma.today/template25/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fvesma.today%2Farticle%2Fpost%2F267-istoriya-ne-terpit-suety-magadanskomu-teatru-ispolnilos-80-let-

Of course, now when I found these failing cases for you, you can fix them too, basically by special-casing them. But only until next time. Extracting values from hand-formatted text on a website that's going to be updated just is not practical.

Banner is missing
Andrew A.
(Note that it is an image, not a real form.) This page is a promotional page with a non-standard layout. I decided to support this type of pages (although it's not very article-like) insofar as it is reasonable to do it. But there can be ambiguous cases like this one. In this case, I would say, the banner is just a decoration element in addition to the existent link. So, if you will, it may be removed as per Checklist "Buttons removed (if the button is essential, it must be simplified into a link)" (https://instantview.telegram.org/checklist#4-content-to-be-removed).

And that not to mention "Banners removed" item of the said Checklist.
Declined by admin
Since this is an edge case website & the banner is clearly some part of an ad/promotion, it's okay to remove it.

Figcaption & cover are missing.
Andrew A.
Cover is optional here. And as for figcaption — that is some reeealy strange piece of layout there.

<em><span contenteditable="false" draggable="false"><img src="http://vesma.today/uploads/common/2018/09/27/vypuskausij_kollektor_g._magadanka.jpg" data-file="[object Object]" class="fr-fic fr-dii"><span contenteditable="true">Выпускающий коллектор</span></span></em>

There is no way I could figure out this is a caption. This site normally uses fr-img-caption//fr-inner for figcaptions, and my template supports it well, as you can see.

This site has COUNTLESS number of formats for displaying telegram/facebook/whatsapp links. NONE of them have any classes/means to identify them reliably. They are all given in plain tags in the end of the article.

"Not a unique case" — 3 results in Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Avesma.today+"Telegram-канал+Новости+Хабаровска"
All are dated today/yesterday. Your example just proves that new formats appear in real time.

I remove a couple of popular formats. But hunting for all of them is futile. You can't predict new formats, you can't cover all existing ones.

Template #49 Issue #1
Feb 28, 2019
It seems like they used <h4> for lead paragraphs in a lot of articles in 2017.
Because they still use <h3> for regular text, I think all <h4> could be safely transformed into <p>.
Andrew A.
"I think all <h4> could be safely transformed into <p>"
Why? As you said, in this case from 2017, they use <h4> for lead text. Note that in the original, this text is in uppercase & has more letter-spacing. So, it has a specific emphasized style for a lead. I think we could convert it to bold or leave it as <h4>. I don't see any big problem here.

An example of an issue with much worse problems got declined: https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/ast-news.ru/template26/issue3/.
As Denis said there, "IV isn't for fixing/beautifying orginal markup on legacy pages. Not to say it's not possible to "fix" this anyway, it's way too giberish formating.
User would get about the same experience if he visits original."

Hi there!

Author name should be into the author block at template's header.
Andrew A.
It can't be reliably identified. I already pointed what happen when you try to take author from plain tags:
https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vesma.today/template40/issue2/.

There is no rigid structure, the site has countless ways to specify the author, for instance:
http://vesma.today/news/post/993-volontery-quotzoospasaquot-v-magadane-nashli-dom-psu-kotorogo-hozyaeva-ostavili-umirat

Not identifiable in any way. Just <h2> tags. 13 results in Google (all between 15 Jan 2019 and 19 Jan 2019): https://www.google.com/search?q=%22%D0%92%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%8C%D0%BC%D0%B0.+%D0%90%D0%BA%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B0%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BD%D1%8B%D0%B5+%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8+%D0%B2+%D0%AF%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%81+%D0%94%D0%B7%D0%B5%D0%BD%22+site%3Avesma.today. This site has thousands of pages.

Look, we (both you and me) have cleaned up 99% of different kinds of blocks inviting to join to social networks. Hunting for 100% is futile, and will never be achieved. New articles will appear with new formats, etc. You can identify these links only by text & hrefs, and those are super-fluid (volatile).

This banner has no fixed URL:
• On http://vesma.today/news/post/1301-detskiy-lager, it is /uploads/common/2018/03/05/%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%202.jpg
• On this page, it is /uploads/common/2018/03/08/%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%202.jpg (note the date)
• On the page by your second link, it is /uploads/common/2018/03/16/%D0%B1%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B5%D1%80%202(3).jpg.

It is uploaded for every post.

We also can't detect this banner by link URL, since you previously correctly pointed to a page where this link is a part of content: https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vesma.today/template37/issue1/.

Please find yourself a better occupation than scanning every page of this website for one-off "issues" in my template. You are wasting both my and your time.

That's a caption for a different photo.
Andrew
Well.. the layout here is completely broken:
https://pastebin.com/2gqTdmed

Of course you can write 100500 exceptions for unique broken cases. And if you look closely at this structure you would see why my page is actually broken: "Дикая барахолка..." and what is supposed to be the "next" image just have the same parent.
Plus, this is a 2016 article.
And finally, this error is not so critical that leads to swapping some random unrelated blocks.
Accepted by admin
Since it's not possible to properly identify captions, it's acceptable to leave them as text.

Displaying the wrong caption is unacceptable for IV.
Andrew
It would probably be better to omit all captions on this site at all then. I know that you don't accept issues for other templates in appeals, but anyway, I've just found an example where reporter's template also fails to handle: https://vk.cc/8J49yE (and here, but for the other reason: https://vk.cc/8zBhgB).
Also, according to your new rules, related articles should not be present on pages like this: https://vk.cc/9cFlIs.

In addition to issue #1: here, you take caption from above the image too (although here it is at least related, but only by a lucky chance).
Andrew
Yes, but like I said here - https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vesma.today/template66/issue1/ - the caption and the image have the parent in common. This rule helps in handling so many such cases.
Declined by admin
Indeed it's not a caption, but a header. Declined since it's additional issue.

Cover separated from its caption. It's too dangerous to set a cover on this site with its unstable layout.

Content is missing
Accepted by admin
Andrew A.
Oh man, why have I resubmitted my template.

It's a serious problem in the source.

This site has the following basic structure for image captions:

<span class="fr-img-caption">
<span class="fr-img-wrap">
<img>
<span class="fr-inner">
CAPTION
</span>
</span>
</span>

On this page, all text after the image got into the class="fr-inner" element. You can see the consequences of this even on the site itself—all content after the image is half-transparent. That's not something that could happen on regular basis on this site. That's a plain and serious error.

And IV cuts foreign elements in <figcaption> without asking, that's why it's absent with my template.

Things like one (or even a couple—this site's editors are really cack-handed) page with a broken layout (https://instantview.telegram.org/contest/vesma.today/template67/issue1/; and of course I shouldn't have resubmitted my template and submit an appeal instead) don't make a valid exception to claim that it can't be reliably identified.
Andrew
I don't know. Let's wait for admin's decision on this. I don't want to be a victim of another page with a broken layout.
Accepted by admin
Since recent articles are using this markup, captions must be formatted properly
