Hallo! http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Template:4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all#T057 is a copy of [[meta:Template:4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all#T057]] where *"filtering"* is aplied by replacing {{4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all/details|SHOWORDER2=y|SHOWORDER3=y|SHOWORDER4=y|SHOWORDER6=y|SHOWORDER8=y}} with {{4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all/details|SHOWORDER2=|SHOWORDER3=|SHOWORDER4=y|SHOWORDER6=|SHOWORDER8=}} This filtering displays only selected *"records"* and should be used in preview. See the screen dump at: http://jadesukka.homelinux.org:8180/betawiki/Image:Template_rendering_01.jpg The templates http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Template:4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all/show/ [[meta:Template:4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all/show/]] contain just <!-- don't delete this --> Nevertheless the *"record"* T062 at meta (and test.leuksman) would generat lots of "<p><br /></p>" in the last cell. <tr> <td><font id="T064"></font><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:4x4_type_square/T064&action=edit" class="new" title="Template:4x4 type square/T064">T064</a></td> <td>33 03 13 23<br /> 30 00 10 20<br /> 31 01 11 21<br /> 32 02 12 22</td> <td>15 04 14 01<br /> 06 09 07 12<br /> 03 16 02 13<br /> 10 05 11 08</td> <td align="left"> </td> <td align="center">4</td> <td><a href="#T064" title="">#T064</a> <a href="#T011" title="">#T011</a> <a href="#T054" title="">#T054</a> <a href="#T001" title="">#T001</a><br /> <a href="#T001" title="">#T001</a> <a href="#T011" title="">#T011</a> <a href="#T054" title="">#T054</a> <a href="#T064" title="">#T064</a><br /> <a href="#T054" title="">#T054</a> <a href="#T011" title="">#T011</a> <a href="#T064" title="">#T064</a> <a href="#T001" title="">#T001</a></td> <td><a href="/w/index.php?title=Template:4x4_type_square/T/more&action=edit" class="new" title="Template:4x4 type square/T/more">T064</a> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> <p><br /></p> </td> </tr> notes on compatibility: It is quite important to have influenece on what is generated with a template. I can imagine that some templates are designed / specified *as the template rendering* works in the past / works now. This will be so forever and ajustments should / must be made. However *no* automatisms (as insertion of code) should be done by MediaWiki software. If someone *wants* a <br /> somewhere he / she should specify it. This consideration should be taken into account as a basic principle and not "This change makes harm to my template, to this and that template.", "This method makes my life easier." etc. Best regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]] compare with bug 826: "feature request: "empty template" as {{|parameter1|parameter2}} should be ignored"
Hallo! I found a workaround: You can see at http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Template:4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all/show/&diff=10118&oldid=8942 That I replaced the empty template containing just <!-- don't delete this --> with ​ This is Unicode Character ZERO WIDTH SPACE - U+200B http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/200b/index.htm HTML Entity (decimal) ​ – (hex) ​ – UTF-8 (hex) 0xE2 0x80 0x8B (e2808b) in the page source of http://test.leuksman.com/index.php/Template:4x4_type_square/T/leuksman/all#T057 you can see that the rendereing generates now <tr> <td> <font id="T057" /></font> <p><a href="/edit/Template:4x4_type_square/T057" class="new" title="Template:4x4 type square/T057">T057</a> ... more ... </td><td> <a href="/edit/Template:4x4_type_square/T/more" class="new" title="Template:4x4 type square/T/more">T057</a> <p>​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ </p> </td></tr> This rendering is acceptable. The optimal solution would be that an empty template or a template containing only a comment should generate *nothing*. best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
This bug report is INVALID. See http://test.leuksman.com/view/Template:View *note* {{empty}} {{empty}} {{empty}} {{empty}} is equivalent with <new line> <new line> <new line> <new line> At some point empty paragraphs are generated. Sorry for opening this bug.
