--- Comment #6 from [email protected] ---
This is *not* a duplicate of 51003. You need to maintain the original
formatting, not any suggested formatting. If the original source lists the
parameters like

{{name
|arg1|arg2
|arg3
|arg4
|arg5
}}

and someone changes arg2, all that should occur is that the value of arg2
should be changed. No braces should move. No newlines should be inserted or
removed. The "dirty diff" is *precisely* what I am complaining about.

The various bugs around allowing a suggested format are all valid, but this
isn't a duplicate. Diff lists are how we detect what editors have changed, and
anything that dirties a diff is generally a bad thing. Reformatting templates
when an argument is modified causes dirty diffs.
