Description Michael M. 2011-04-23 07:33:22 UTC 
Like bug 13619 I suggest to add non-breaking spaces automatically in dates. A regular expression like /(\d\.?) (join of month names and abbreviations in content langage with |)/ and /(month names) (\d)/ should catch almost all cases without too many false positives.

We don't want more automagic conversions into the wikitext.

are you saying you think this is WONTFIX?
Comment 3 Niklas Laxström 2011-04-23 19:51:51 UTC 
In the proposed way yes, but there may be alternative approaches if only dates of concern. Nevertheless I think computers are just not intelligent enough to do this automatically for us.
