Hadn't noticed the leading | character. That is wrong, albeit harmless in most
cases (if someone set rowheader=true, it would be a visible error). I removed
all of those in a bot run before, and it looks like it's time to do it again.

Removing the pipe doesn't quite work, though: take a peek at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_%28It_Ain%27t_the_End%29?veaction=edit vs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_%28It_Ain%27t_the_End%29 and notice how the
manual entries and the templated entries align in the normal view but scramble
in the edit view.

You really need to be parsing *after* template expansion and tracking all the
text that the templates generate. That template should display as the chart and
reference in the first column followed by a position in the second column,
because that's what the wikitext the template generates says to do. Once the
editor tries to edit any of those fields, the editor should be taken to the
template editor. Displaying the output as a doublespaced item without any table
boundaries that doesn't align with other entries is not the right answer to
this problem.
