Quoted text (blockquote) does not show line breaks

The text inside of <blockquote> is shown in one paragraph, regardless of line breaks entered.

Using the visual editor on 3D Printing restrictions and bans#Consumer rights and ownership concerns, I split the quoted text ("3. Complete print traceability...") into two paragraphs (as in the source). The line break was shown while editing, but after saving the page, all the quoted text was put together. If I use "edit source," it shows the line break is there, but the preview does not show it. If I just click regular "edit" then two non-ascii characters that look like carriage returns are shown where the line break should be. I delete those and break up the quoted lines again, but when I click Save changes > Review your changes, the page says "No changes." The same thing is seen on Uber#Databreaches in its quote.

We've passed this on to the dev. it's a 13 year old mediawiki bug :) we'll try and sort out a fix, however for now the AI's suggested a couple of solutions (I especially like that you can treat it as a poem as a bypass!).

• Use two separate <blockquote> elements instead of one with an internal break — sidesteps the bug entirely.
• Use <p> tags explicitly inside the blockquote, e.g. <blockquote><p>First part.</p><p>Second part.</p></blockquote> — Parsoid generally respects explicit <p> tags even where it won't respect blank-line paragraph breaks.
• Use the <poem> tag inside blockquote if you just want line breaks (not full paragraph spacing): wrapping content in poem tags inside blockquote converts line breaks to br tags reliably.

Deleted spam articles appear in the left side banner

I might categorize this more so a feature than a bug, all things considered.

I can tell User:JakeL and co. have to put up with a whole lot of vandalism on the wiki, which is unfortunate. Also unfortunate is that, because the most recently edited articles appear on the column to the left (under Recent changes), users will see the column filled up with references to the deletion edits, at least until enough genuine contributions have been made. I find that to be a shame, because in other moments I myself have benefited greatly from learning about new articles that are being worked on, or updates to existing ones.

I suggest that deletion edits be omitted from the column. Assuming deletion is only performed by someone with more authority on the site, then I can't imagine a reason not to filter them out of the Recent changes section. Jameson Ismad (talk) 02:58, 22 August 2026 (UTC)

AbuseFilter Examine individual changes page sort/show 100 etc changes buttons don't work

in this case when i go to click on the (newest | oldest) View (newer 50 | older 50) (20 | 50 | 100 | 250 | 500) buttons after clicking on Search which shows the buttons

it just refreshs the page back to the default page before you searched and clicking on search again just searches without any sorting or anything Rapid50 (talk) 23:49, 22 August 2026 (UTC)

Wiki does not contain page for CRW Ext—neither Projects: nor Main

The Browser Extension seems like it's a core mechanism of distribution for the wonderful information available here.

It would be nice to have a wiki page, in order to:

• solicit and collect feedback (indeed to have any way to easily find out—except via the Chrome Web Store :P—that a public git(hub) forge repo exists);

• have a core documentation page would help share and show to others, pitch to friends & family, what the extension does, how it appears, without relying on the extension Web Store.
• discuss feature requests, bugs, and support off of Github, in the spirit of mitchellh's use of Github Discussions for Ghostty, GH:ghostty — Why users cannot create issues directly -- Mcint (talk) 23:31, 26 August 2026 (UTC)
