Not if you read the next sentence.
Noticed an error in the chess rules page
Sort:
"And, like with all pieces, if the queen captures an opponent's piece her move is over", that's offtopic, it just means you can't eat a piece then move again the used piece
So you mean if there's a white queen in d3, black pawn in d4, and black queen in d5, white queen can eat black queen?

No, read the previous sentence in the rules. You seem to want all the rules in one sentence. Good luck with that.
The only piece that can move through it's own pieces is the king when castling with a rook. (I think there is actually a little trap door under the king square and he actually runs under the rook and comes up on the other side, I dont believe they actually pass through eachother).
Oh! I agree with the OP that the sentence is incomplete if not inaccurate, and finishing the sentence with "any piece" is a perfect alternative.

Semantics

And the knight obviously.
As for the topic, I agree with autisticmanchild. He just got the colour of the pawn wrong in his example.

"How to Move the Queen in Chess
The queen is the most powerful piece. She can move in any one straight direction - forward, backward, sideways, or diagonally - as far as possible as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces. And, like with all pieces, if the queen captures an opponent's piece her move is over. Notice how the white queen captures the black queen and then the black king is forced to move."
It's misleading when it says "as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces" shouldn't it be "as long as she does not move through any piece" instead? It implies she can go through enemy pieces the way it's written at the moment
It seems like it's worded right to me. You cant move through your own pieces, but you can move through an enemy piece. You can capture it. You cant capture your own piece.

Yes ! It's very complex rules.
I can't learn all Chess rules even now.
This is why I lose so often.

Fixed, thank you

I agree it's not as clear as could be, but it does not mislead. Why don't you compose a better move rule explanation and submit it for consideration?

Well as I said, just replacing the "as long as she does not move through any of her own pieces" to "as long as she does not move through any piece" would be plenty imo, there's no need to rewrite the entire rules page
