Schema specification

We enforce the consistent identification of all places tagged. hence the ref attribute must always be there if you use this element. A rule is present to try and avoid extra spaces. For use in place records, a list of values for type is also provided. Beta maṣāḥǝft Guidelines

context rule report
tei:placeName[ancestor::tei:TEI[@type='mss' or @type='pers' or @type='work']] not(@ref)
not(matches(@ref, 'INS\d+\w+') or matches(@ref, 'LOC\d+\w+') or matches(@ref, 'ETH\d+\w+') or matches(@ref, 'wd:Q\d+') or matches(@ref, 'pleiades:\d+'))
A placeName in a mss, person or work description should always contain an attribute @ref pointing to the relevant record
The place identifier you have entered is wrong. Place IDs must match LOC\d+\w+ for places, INS\d+\w+ for institutions, wd:Q\d+ for wikidata items or pleiades:\d+ for ancient places in the Pleiades Gazetteer.
tei:placeName[not(text())][not(parent::tei:place)] matches(following-sibling::text()[1], '^\w') or matches(preceding-sibling::text()[1], '\w$')
There should be a space before and one after the element placeName
