> when it's done properly and without breaking things.

It is not done properly. It breaks things. This is what this bug is about. See
my example in the first comment.

I have not said that.

It was not removed. Every web browser in the world is able to render align
attributes properly. With your current hack you are doing the job of the we
browser and you are doing it bad. There is no need to replicate something that
*every* web browser in the world can do by it's own.

Then do this please. Currently an unknown number of WikiText pages do not
continue to work.

> except when there is a bug we have to fix

What bug? There was no bug with the align properties. It worked fine for
decades and it will continue to work for decades.

> Breaking every article

What are you talking about? Absolutely nothing will break if you output the
align attributes.

> It's only broken if it looks broken.

Again, what are you talking about? It *does* look broken. This is what this bug
is about.

> MediaWiki outputted incorrect markup.

Then drop your support for this markup if you consider it "incorrect". Tell the
people it will be dropped, give them some time and then drop it. Either this or
continue to support it. But don't change the *meaning* of *my* code.

> So yes, your templates were broken

No, they were not. They worked fine and they will work find for the next
decades. I tested them in every browser. There was no bug. *You* introduced a
bug.
