Description Derk-Jan Hartman 2013-08-05 16:27:53 UTC 
Slightly related to bug 51322 

Take the Link FA templates on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin?veaction=edit for instance. 

These produce empty elements, and don't qualify under 'solely metadata' of bug 51322, even though they are somewhat similar to it.

The templates are represented with the char: ↵
Using the arrow keys to cursor trough this sequence will sometimes produce the template editor indicator. However their is little identifying these templates to the user and due to the interspersed ↵, users think they should be deleted.

Actually, that's representing the meaningless wikitext of the newline after the template.
Comment 2 James Forrester 2014-02-27 19:26:06 UTC 
Merging with bug 49806 (though non-transclusion empty HTML blocks do happen too).
