--- Comment #12 from Philippe Verdy <[email protected]> ---
Did I say that there was a RLM in a title ? No.

I said that I see since mid october RLMs appearing randomly on various pages
that have been saved at that time. Without any warning.

The result of {{#language:be-x-old}} is reproductible by you, it's definitely
not anywhere in the user-editable wiki code, it is in the code implementing the
parser function (which must have been edited with the same wiki code editor
which currently randomly inserts some RLM when saving pages, even if the user
never typed them (not present on the keyboard).

They probably come from the internal code of some javascript supporting the
code editors, but I did not investigate long about them.

Using named (or numbered) character entities in the code editor for all
invisible format controls (ZWSP, WJ, Bidi controls) is certainly a good
solution, even if the server later (or the javascript supporting the form
validation before sending to the server) stores them as single characters.

At least we'll see them in the wiki code, which is not the WYSIWYG form you'll
see in the preview or in the generated HTML when viewing pages.

For the VisualEditor, it may require some work to choose how to render their
presence in the editable preview.
