Thanks; have updated the bug report accordingly. > Interestingly, it only seems to happen on articles that insert the cursor > into a blank line at the top of the article. I'm not sure what determines > that behavior, but it seems to be the behavior for the vast majority of > en.wiki articles. That is bug 47790. It's not really a blank line in the document; it's the "potential" place to insert some new content, until you click into it and insert some, at which point it's whatever you type in. But it's not really very obvious to users what it is. > The only article I haven't been able to reproduce the bug at so far > is Lalage: > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lalage A block-level slug only appears if the page starts with a template or other kind of generated content; any page that starts with one will get one (hence the pervasiveness). The alternative is not giving users the ability to insert content before a template if it happened to be at the start of a document, which would be even more confusing. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
