Edit request - fix space before pipe separator
[edit]{{Edit request}}
The template currently does not output the space before each pipe when using separator=pipe
even though MediaWiki:Pipe-separator has a leading space (as evident in the page being formatted as a <pre>
block). This is because the leading space (U+0020) is stripped when the value of each {{int:{{{separator|pipe}}}-separator}}
is passed to each #if
. In contrast, the trailing space is not stripped because the next numbered parameter is concatenated inside of the #if
, so it does not come last in the argument. MediaWiki:Dot-separator is not affected because its leading space is a non-breaking space (U+00A0), but this technique cannot be used in MediaWiki:Pipe-separator because, as noted in the the page's deletion log, it would appear as an extra space before pipes in the MediaWiki UI.
{{Toolbar}} can be fixed to output the leading regular space by adding <nowiki />
before each {{int:{{{separator|pipe}}}-separator}}
. This prevents the spaces from coming first in the #if
arguments. I tested this change by calling the modified {{Toolbar}} template in isolation and as part of {{Copyvio}} (which is where I keep being reminded of the missing space), but I am not familiar enough with templates to be sure that the added <nowiki />
tag does not have unintended side effects in other situations.
