Summary: Template Parser does not treat an Ideographic space 3000
as whitespace
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: Normal
Component: Templates
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
According to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Parser_functions_in_templates
{{#if: {{{1|}}} | Parameter 1 is defined and non-null/non-empty. |
Parameter 1 is not defined, or is defined but null. It contains only empty
string(s) or breaking space(s) etc.}}
Result
Parameter 1 is not defined, or is defined but null. It contains only
empty string(s) or breaking space(s) etc.
But if Parameter 1 contains an Ideographic space 3000 rather an ASCII space 20
then it is treated as non-null.
This affects users editing a Latin based Wikipedia (i.e.. English) with a Asian
based computer (i.e.. Japanese).
For example see this edit:
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kawagoe_Station&diff=306196218&oldid=305944473
which changes the spaces from U 3000 to U 20 and the "statistics" line in the
Station infoboxes are then correctly formatted.
The U 3000 space should be evaluated as whitespace within a template if
function.
