Description

Slightly related to bug 51322

Take the Link FA templates on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin?veaction=edit for instance.

These produce empty elements, and don't qualify under 'solely metadata' of bug 51322, even though they are somewhat similar to it.

The templates are represented with the char: ↵
Using the arrow keys to cursor trough this sequence will sometimes produce the template editor indicator. However their is little identifying these templates to the user and due to the interspersed ↵, users think they should be deleted.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

The templates are represented with the char: ↵

Actually, that's representing the meaningless wikitext of the newline after the template.

Merging with bug 49806 (though non-transclusion empty HTML blocks do happen too).

This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 49806 ***
