Forum:Problem with new editor introducing a newline

The new editor adds a new line character immediately prior to the noinclude that protects the categories. This presents problems for pages that are transcluded. (It is not safe to assume that no pages outside of the Template namespace will not be transcluded. Boilerplate text is an example of this.)

The damage can be quite severe. Reproduction steps:
 * 1) Edit Abraham lincoln transcluded page in the new editor and save.
 * 2) Press refresh. Damage- you willl see the table will display additional 3rd and fourth columns half way down the page.
 * 3) Now delete the newline immediately prior to the noinclude the new editor introduced. EG, this edit: compare of versions.
 * 4) After hitting refresh, you will see the damage is removed.

Apparently, this bug is won't fix since it has been understood since March. I can imagine cases where not introducing the newline will mess up pages.

Request: A magic word (or any other token or special wikitext sequence of the developer's choosing) to inform the php that is is ok to omit the newline prior to the noinclude.

Thanks

 * A simple workaround for this is to submerge the category declaration(s) in a template so that the new editor will be declined the opportunity to munge up the page. 19:41, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll bring this up again, see if we can get a final solution for this. 13:34, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It is no longer a priority for Familypedia since my workaround is sufficient for all of our affected articles. The exposure of this bug is limited to non template namespace transclusions that have code in them that is sensitive to this sort manipulation.  That set of requirements for the bug to manifest itself means this bug has an exceptionally small footprint, so maybe nofix is acceptable until someone else complains about it.  - 19:28, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It has come up elsewhere, but yes, it's not a major issue if it has workarounds. I'd love to get it in a position where it "just works" though :) 14:52, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
