Re: [Wikimedia-l] Hard spaces being added by the hundreds

[James Heilman]

Thanks Strainu

I will fiddle around with those suggestions. It appears to be possible to
adapt the colors within syntax highlighting. So maybe I can get a version
of that which uses the WikEd colors.

[Strainu]

James, I've reported a similar issue back in 2012:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd/Archive_013#wikiEd_replaces_the_non_breaking_space_(U+00A0)_character_with_space_(U+0020)
 Apparently the way to "solve" this non-issue has changed (for the
better IMHO, but I can see why you consider it as worse).

I would suggest dropping wikiEd at once for one of the more modern
editors, such as the syntax highlighting feature or the 2017 source
editor. It will probably break your workflow for a while, but in the
long term the benefits will outweigh the issues.

[Wikimedia-l] Hard spaces being added by the hundreds

[James Heilman]

Hey All

I have no idea what to do. I have been asking around. Hard spaces are being
adding to English Wikipedia by the 100s to 1000s. I have no idea why and I
have no idea how to fix it.

I have brought this up here
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:WhatamIdoing#Hard_spaces

and

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cacycle/wikEd#Stop_adding_;

Folks appear to be saying that the problem is someone elses problem. It
appears to be mainly coming from education initiatives / those who use
visual editor and thus I imaging copying and pasting content between
different parts of Wikipedia.
