When I create a page with a template, which includes one unnamed parameter followed by a blank line and then immediately thereafter a link (interwiki or regular), the whitespace is not shown. A quick and dirty hack, by enclosing the template with <p></p>, fixes the problem. Example wikicode which creates this problem: {{date|June 2, 2005}} [[w:Link]] blah blah. ---------------------- Example wikicode which does not create this problem: {{dateline|date=June 2, 2005|location=wherever}} [[w:Link]] blah blah. I have only been able to reproduce this on Wikinews.
I made a test at http://test.leuksman.com/index.php?title=Bugzilla_2469 where similar behaviour is experienced. [[wikinews:en:Tartan_Day_festivities_April_6_in_New_York&oldid=75945]] relates to an older revision. If you click on *article* you will *not* see the error. Rendering for templates is somthing very sensible. No *extra* newlines should be added *automatically* because this would break rendering of templates in identations using #, :, combinations of boths, templates in table cells etc. It is crucial to know how temlates behave and how they render. Adaptations for *individual* needs should be made to the templates and *not* to rendering except for *real* bugs. Regards Reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]
Tested with 1.8alpha (r16658) - the bug still exists. Version changed to 1.8-svn.
This seems to have been fixed in the meantime -- I was unable to reproduce it on either en.wikipedia.org or en.wikinews.org.
Reported fixed by Felix Pahl.
