Web browser: --- Bug ID: 51322 Summary: VisualEditor: Handle 'meta' templates better Product: VisualEditor Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: Unprioritized Component: Data Model Assignee: esand...@wikimedia.org Reporter: esand...@wikimedia.org CC: jforres...@wikimedia.org, roan.katt...@gmail.com, tpars...@wikimedia.org Classification: Unclassified Mobile Platform: --- Some templates are only used to include metadata, e.g. categories. In this example http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ashton_Agar&oldid=564224425&veaction=edit the document starts with two such categories, producing linebreak characters, with templates spanning 0 characters in between (accessible still be cursoring). An uninitiated user may just decide to delete this whole line at the the top, thus removing the hidden templates. Perhaps we need to detect if a template contains no meaningful content and then move it into the metadata so it can't be accidentally deleted. We'd also need a UI for editing them though. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
